A Chunk of Light

The last couple of days we have been soaked in grey rain and grey skies. To me, the lack of color and light for long stretches of time is always a challenge in wintertime here. This afternoon, on the drive home along the equally grey lake by our house, the sky broke open like a large fruit, revealing a chunk of bright blue, with white clouds spilling out like shredded string. I took a deep breath, it was a stunning sight, turning the grey water  of the lake below a charcoal shade of black. The sight made me think what a friend of mine in Texas would be able to create with his camera and paint brushes. Light, color, such a treat on a dismally grey winter day.
Thank you John Carlisle Moore, for the beauty of your Cloud Series paintings and their photographs you shared on Facebook.
