This painting depicts the late afternoon sun, illuminating the sunny side of a canyon floor, in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. There was one small tree on the shoreline and a steep cliff behind it with other trees jutting out from it.

Below is a more detailed look at the painting.

A Painting a Day

I have always liked the stories of King Arthur, and life at Camelot. (I even have a web site www.kingarthurbooks.com.) Also, we have traveled extensively in England, Scotland and Ireland, and have visited many castles.

The Lady Morgause is one of the most fascinating in Arthurian literature. She was said to be the half sister of King Arthur. She and Arthur did not live together as brother and sister. A beautiful lady, in adulthood, she caught the eye of Arthur and becomes pregnant after sleeping with him while they were unaware of their relation. I've always been fascinated by her, and have twice visited Tintagel Castle, the legendary birthplace of King Arthur in Cornwall. It is a mysterious and beautiful place. Go there someday with someone you love. (The last time we were there, we stayed at Camelot Castle, which is perched high on the rocky shoreline and offers a great view of the sea and the castle. www.camelotcastle.com) --BB

This is from a photo I took this summer, of a young woman walking her dog in the brilliant morning sunshine. She seemed to glow in the distance.

My wife Anne and I spent a night at the Hotel St. Nicholas, in Cripple Creek, Colorado, several years ago. (A wonderful place, Google it and see.) The room was dark, with just the overhead light on.

I love early morning on a lake when it is calm, flat and misty. It seems otherworldly.
