Call and Response

By Nancy Polo

Print based on original watercolor and gouache by Nancy Polo. Walking has been my therapy for quarantine. It's an exercise in perception, as much as a form of physical exertion. Trees have become my constant companions. I seek out their shadows as I would an old friend, looking for subtle shifts in size, shape and color. These reveal more to me than any weather report. The deep blue of winter shadows call to me and my heart leaps in response. Returning home I remind myself that I can't actually photosynthesize. #watercolor #bluesky #bigsky #bigtrees #snow #blueshadows #sycamores #walnuts #brickhouse
