December 9

Christmas is coming. Time seems elastic and yet each day disappears into the ether before I have completed, or, let's be honest, started, to action my grand plans for the day. I have been enjoying the winter skies and the colours when sun is followed by threatening rainclouds and the whole imbued with a sort of internal light. Although summer is wonderful there is something special about winter light. So, today's 10 minute challenge follows a conversation when out for coffee at Burton Agnes where the sky was really interesting. We talked about using watercolour and exaggerating colour. I tried wet in wet because of the time factor and quite like the effect.
