Here is my picture of the sky falling:
Sky falling? What?
Do you see that layer of fog developing on the cool ground?
Well, fog is actually just a collection of water vapor droplets touching the ground. Guess what? A cloud is a collection of water vapor droplets too!
So basically, fog is a cloud on the ground…the sky meets ground.
Cool huh?
It has inspired many artist, poets, and horror movie makers alike. Why?
The mystery…
You can’t recognize everything in a fog, what normal surroundings you were use to, now become foreign…like a different land. What lurks beyond that fog? The unknown.
What a fitting subject for 2009. We face the unknown. This last past year has been such a roller coaster with the economy, politics, and weather. It maybe a little scary. My wish is that you may find The faith of concrete substance that will carry you through…and not the faith of empty vapors.
Happy New Year
Let's go hiking in the Midwest Forest Preserves, we will paint and sketch what we find and learn more about nature together. Painting is a way to study a subject and learn it thoroughly, I'll show you how.

Great shot. I love the mystery of fog.
The sky is kissing the ground as you say.
Hope you have a peaceful evening.

I for one am looking forward to 2009.
It can’t be worse than 2008, can it?
Can it??
Who cares….HAPPY NEW YEAR anyway!

[...] Hills, IL. A nice tiny little get-a-way with a tiny little pond. Can you find it? We visited this place at the end of last year and on another occasion made a sketch from the car [...]
