my mom is a painter... she paints in oil...really beautifully.  anyway.  there's a painting i remember vividly (she sold it when i was young), it was a tree just like this....a day just like this.  and she just nailed it.  the color of the sky, the color of everything.  so...that's what i was thinking of.  feeling lucky to live where i do.
