Study in Brown and Gray

 If winter in Kentucky were a painting,

 
we'd title it "Study in Brown and Gray"
 
 
 
(or gray and brown, if you prefer).
 
 

Etched with a graphite web of lines,



shaded in soft tones of charcoal and raw umber,



cinnamon and sienna,


we'd know not to dream of colors;



Spring is still too far away.

  6. These soft browns and greys--such delicate hues--are a welcome relief for eyes already tired of the relentless white of snow. Spring is too far away, indeed!

  7. So beautiful - some silver and bronze as well :) I'm wearing gray and brown as I sit here - I think they may be my favorite colors this season. Perhaps I'll come to Kentucky and move around incognito, shifting through the landscape!!

    WIshing you a happy and heathy new year.
