October's Changing Light (watercolor painting)

                Lake Champlain, October Afternoon- Painting by KMB, watercolor on paper, 2014.


Last week I once again spent an entire day wandering the shoreline and beaches between Oakledge and Perkins Pier alongside Burlington Bay. I made many sketches, observations, meditations. As often happens, there was one moment-- amidst and within all the changing light, shifting forms and textures--that wanted to stay with me.  Over the following week, in good painting light, I revisited that moment and made this watercolor. -KMB

On a cold, rainy April day, I did some active dreaming-- with brush, colors, and my sketchbooks at hand, I contemplated past and future shoreline journeys- KMB
