Joy of Lights!

Joy of Lights!

As our days grow shorter and the nights get longer, we have the opportunity for more light, not less.  With candles in our homes, porch luminaries, and  holiday lights starting with Halloween! They brighten our neighborhoods for all to enjoy!

The ones that never cease to fascinate us, however, are the Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis.  Autumn is a busy season for them (depending on where they are in their 15 year cycle of activity).  This year, we enthusiasts have been gifted with a lot of activity in the sky and every photographer has tried catching the perfect shot.

I gave up trying to “catch” the lights with the camera decades ago and, instead, I grab the watercolors.  The “lights” are always a fun challenge in the studio and always another emersion into nature and expression of my appreciation for the beauty around us … even though sometimes I have to get up at 3:00 a.m. to see it.  I hope you enjoy the Joy of this season’s “Lights” from my painting table.     Creatively yours, Kathleen
