T stands for thought

 I really don’t know clouds at all… Wow, there’s a prism in that cloud As we were walking up from the beach, I noticed this prism in the cloud. I did a little research when we got home on thoughtco.com  The prism is known as a sun dog, which occurs in colder temperatures when sunlight interacts with large, flat hexagonal ice crystals. As sunlight hits the crystals, it is refracted bending and creating the spectrum of colors. Theories about the etymology of sun dog include Greek mythology ~Zeus walked his two dogs across the sky and Norse mythology (solhund) ~constellations of two hounds hunting the sun and moon.  The ceiling at the Boch Center Fi and I went to Brett Eldredge’s Glow Christmas concert at the Boch Center. It was a great show and our first time out at an event since COVID hit. Proof of vaccination, identification and masks were required and while we will continue to limit our indoor activities, it was nice to celebrate the holidays at a fun event and feel safe.

We have been working on watercolors and experimenting with limited color palette and playing with shadows. This one is  8 x10. It’s easier to get a loose effect if you are working large.. The next one is on a greeting card Karen gave us to use for potential Christmas cards A red cardinal for a pop of Christmas color  Some imagination may be required  Our next assignment was another exercise in negative space painting or painting the background and filling in the shapes. Karen painted white poinsettias for her Christmas card last year and challenged us with that.  The pink one started out white, but the shape of the shadows got really confusing. Changing it to a pink/red brought the shapes back together to find the poinsettia. The white came closer, but it’s another one that I may try larger to get the loose effect.   Live and learn and paint again.
