Description
In 2021, the spring equinox occurred on Saturday, March 20. More precisely, spring arrived at 5:37 am EDT. This event marks the astronomical first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The word equinox comes from the Latin words for "equal night"—aequus (equal) and nox (night). On the equinox, the length of day and night is nearly equal in all parts of the world. After this date, the Northern Hemisphere begins to be tilted more toward the Sun, resulting in increasing daylight hours and warming temperatures.
The blocking ridge of high pressure provided an absolutely cloud free sky so I needed to raise the horizon in my painting. Water from melting snow drained across the field and I thought that I might be able to turn this simple trickle into a painting. I turned the small panel from landscape into a vertical portrait. The sun felt warm on my back. With no biting bugs, it was a beautiful day for plein air painting.
This is another interchange at the head of the smaller Provincially Significant Wetland. It is very well used by nature - even the bears. The Singleton ridges run northeast to southwest as remnants of the Laurentian Mountain Belt. This ridge of mountains resulted from the collision between the supercontinent Rodinia (1.1 billion years ago) and the ancient continent of Laurentia. The roots of this former mountain belt are known geologically as the Grenville Province which partially explains the name of our county. The deer rely on the red cedars in the painting for meagre winter sustenance.

And you read the stories too! We have seen the bears in re life but mainly just on the trail cameras. I was indeed playing with some new colours on my palette. Thank you Sunny!
