The changing clouds of midday and a calm lake greeted me and my painting companion.
The sky was beautiful and the contrast and reflection made by the remains of the wooden posts interested me. Â It was a cold morning and I was bundled up to paint.

It was early morning and I saw this scene on a small lake as I drove by. Â I cam back and parked and worked quickly to try to capture the colors that were changing slower then usual at this time of morning due to the cloud cover.

I was thinking more about simplified patterns and looking for the patterns around me. Â I also seem to be drawn to reflections when considering patterns in nature. Â I found these simple patterned but not patterned grasses in the calm morning as the sun rose and unpredictable clouds floated across the sky.

Looking along the edge of the lake, these large trees rose out of the sand dune.
Every evening and morning, from season to season, there are different color schemes in nature. Â On this particular evening the water was silvery and metalic against a blue liquid sky.
