Night and more art by Richard K. Mills

My wife and I are so fortunate to be away in the country. Daily natural rhythms reassure us with a normalcy, even discounting for strange weather. We carry on, always aware of the crushing reality affecting everyone, everywhere. And the pain and sacrifice of so many souls. And the uncertain future.
I’m finding it very difficult to focus on painting. Gardening and spring are my immediate hope.
I had been indoors all winter painting. In “Night,” the studio lights - now flowing outward, my shadow cast on the meadow, lights of the village, Orion above with a half Moon, Venus in the west.
