On the morning of the 2015 Winter Solstice, the sunrise was spectacular.  Pink, yellow, and violet filled the sky around the dark silhouettes of the trees.   I took a few photos and tried to memorize the colors.  The clouds were moving quickly and in about 5 minutes, the sky was completely gray and the rest of the day was overcast.   I quickly made this small mixed media piece to help me remember the light though the long dark night and gray of winter.

I wish you a warm and happy holiday season and prosperous new year.   I will be taking a break next week and will talk to you again in 2016.  Hold on to the light until then!
