But the light and shadow of a summer afternoon, seen shimmering right from my front steps, captured my attention. I made two sketches, and then realized I wanted to paint what I saw. So I did.
The thunderstorms never arrived, at home or at the lake. But as it turned out, I was happy to be reminded that sometimes the front yard is exactly far enough to go.
