My weblog ELECTRON BLUE, which concentrated on science and mathematics, ran from 2004-2008. It is no longer being updated. My current blog, which is more art-related, is here.

A Bright Winter Day
February, the dreariest month of the year, sometimes has quite a few brilliant clear sunny days. You don't forget it's still winter, though, because it's still cold. The sun itself seems cold. This extra day which we are granted every four years is just more February. And yet the birds are doing their courting and mating, because they are sure that spring is on its way.
While I was touring in the Appalachians I had a number of these bright days, and the scene depicted below is a portrayal of one of them. If it weren't so cold, I could sit a while on the porch on that proverbial rocking chair and watch the clouds go by. This painting is for an upcoming exhibition in Staunton, VA.
