Gray values are inherent in nature, especially when light is diminished. Color becomes secondary and our eyes are slow to adjust to low light areas. It is here that I often perceive a dim intimation into the mystery of God. All grays in this work were generated through a mixture of white and the three primary colors.

Cutting remarks damage not only those to whom they are directed but also the person making them. A friend recently posted a statement, “Be kinder than you wish to be.” May we all live by recalling this thought.

Having walked by this old maple tree numerous times in a local cemetery, I began to be drawn into its facial characteristics. It was changing from year to year, and so, I decided to paint it, with some variations, before it was gone.
