Winter Solstice - Yule Tidings - 2017

Winter Solstice  -Yule Tidings - Acrylic on Board by M.L.Holton

It is so easy to forget the mighty and majestic 

celestial ballet that plays out above us on a daily basis. 

Planets swirl and twirl above and below us. 

We are a part of this ballet too. 

Imagine how far we've come, and yet too,

 imagine how far we have got to go ... 

May the Blessings of a New Year envelop you All. 

May they carry you forward in to this momentous & delicate ballet. 

Twirl on dear friends. 

Twirl on! 

 ...  with love, mlh

p.s. Here's a basic & informative article about the Winter Solstice.

The Fox by M.L.Holton

... It's always fun to look back at older paintings to see what has and hasn't changed in the way that I paint. I remember painting this one back in 2011.

There was a secretive and beautiful fox that lived at the front of the property, in a den in the lakefront bank. In the eight years that I lived there, I only saw the fox twice. Once, during the early part of my residence, and once, near the end.  During the intervening eight years, I was always aware that the fox was there ... secretive ... and beautiful.

Seems a fitting image to welcome Autumn, 2017 ...
