OK. I think I’ve crossed over into obsession. I LOVE the little creeks that wander through the countryside in southern Michigan. You can drive right by them and never notice them. But not me. Each time I see a little sparkle on the side of the road, I have to stop and investigate. Sometimes they are a wash, but often they are little gems waiting to be made into pastel landscape paintings. I must have driven by this little trickle a hundred times on the way to my sister Beth’s house. Last week, I finally stopped and photographed it.

I must say, as much as I hate winter, I’m really enjoying painting the season…
