1 more picture above in a note! :) It wasn't horribly cold today--just about freezing, but sometimes it feels extra cold. I'm not sure why. It wasn't windy, but the cold just went right to the bone! However, that certainly didn't stop me! I wandered up onto our hill and soon found droplets on lichen that had me fascinated. Many were frozen and I looked for lichen that had just the right frozen droplets, positioned so that I'd be able to make them stand out, and I looked for distance from other subjects to create a solid, low-key background. That was a challenge because this type of moss usually clings closely to the branch it's growing on, or there are clusters all together. But I was able to find a few that were just right! :) Robert Delaunay (12 April 1885 – 25 October 1941) was a French artist who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, cofounded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. His later works were more abstract, reminiscent of Paul Klee. His key influence related to bold use of colour, and a clear love of experimentation of both depth and tone. Wikipedia: Robert Delaunay
