A short moment on a busy late autumn day


Late autumn day - first snow has covered the trees on the hills beneath our village. The shape of a lonely birch in front of serious-looking, quiet spruces woke me from my thoughts, however. I stopped my car and took this photo with the simple camera of my mobile phone.

You may not have always time to stop your journey and begin to draw. What you still can do is to pick this kind of emotional views, how simple they may be, and continue with your paints and pencils whenever you have time - still keeping the original emotion of the moment involved in your imagination. This may be the only way during busy winter months but, when the summer begins to knock on your door, you can take all your tools with you again and go to the forests, lakes, rivers...so must it be.
