River Wye, Four Circles

Gesso and acrylic on 300 lb cotton paper, 76cm x 56cm.  Framed

 The low, hazy sun on an Autumn afternoon created this motif of 4 circles.   As I squinted at the sun the branches of the tree appeared to curve into a halo.  These 2 circles were reflected in the river.

 I love Wallace Stevens’ poem “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird”

    IX

     When the blackbird flew out of sight

     It marked the edge

     Of one of many circles.

I’m often on the lookout for these circle edges.
