I have no idea where any of this is going yet.  And I tend to be a bit distracted when going through these thought patterns with my art.  But the thinking never stops.

This was an image I discovered in the mountains on a morning’s drive near Little Washington in Virginia, right after we first moved.  I’ve been thinking of these new images ever since, and how much they connect with images I have seen in England. Finally “Autumn Burn” popped out on canvas.
