You and my friend Pat made me think harder about this photograph, Clare. Yes, maybe there is something in it that recalls Monet’s series of haystack paintings, which I’ve seen in the Chicago Art Institute. Here is one in his series: http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/artwork/64818.
More fog heaven, good! No, I didn’t say “hog.” We’ve probably all been influenced by those Monet paintings, and so much more, but you made this, and you alone, at that moment. So beautiful.
Oh, I like “fog heaven”! I’ve always liked the notion that I may have read in Art and Fear: Only you can make the art that you make. If you don’t make it, it won’t be in the world. (I’m botching the approximated quote, but you get what I mean.)

The fog is particularly impressionistic in this one.
