Study in Contrasts

Contrast is what makes a drawing strong, both my art instructors have reiterated: Make the darks dark and the lights light.














I was reminded of their words when Terry called me out to see...














... the interesting play of dark and light...














... when an overcast sky opened a crack and shone a single beam of light down our street one evening last week.

Our ordinary neighborhood took on a magical air!

(A gentle reminder that - no matter how gray the day may be - the sun is still shining up there beyond the clouds, waiting to break through!)
