#2745 "Valentine's Day at Jim Day Rapids"
8x10 oils on canvas |
I headed out to Jim Day Rapids to be certain of having the February sun on my back. That location would also be protected from the southwesterly breeze that was certain to develop as the ridge of high pressure moved further to the east.
A pair of healthy-looking coyotes had crossed that point just an hour before. The warm sun felt delicious on my back while I painted. I wanted to paint something loose with more oils and less detail. With my new hearing aids, I could hear things that I probably had not heard for years. The birds were singing of spring. I could even hear the ice melt.
There is much to love and protect within the Singleton Sanctuary, especially on Valentine's Day. Who needs chocolate?

Warmest regards and keep your paddle in the water,
