Sky

This morning running across the top of Robbins Farm I had a great view of the sunrise. I started thinking about colors gradually blending into each other like they do in so many natural places- a plant stem, a leaf, the sky, the skin of a frog or the fur of a cat.
On a clear day the sky is a reliable inspiration for this. I didn't capture it with my colored pencils but the the picture of Robbins Farm when there was snow a few years ago does! How delicate is the transition from blue to orange at the horizon.

Here's what I mean! Robbins Farm a winter when there was snow.
