For this month’s mood board, I thought about the little mushrooms tucked under leaves in the forests of the Northwest, about the owl we saw out our bedroom window on New Year’s day morning, and the lovely layer of snow that covered everything for a couple days, creating contrasts of light and dark and interesting new shapes. I love the subtle colors of winter light, how it seems thinner somehow. In this region where we get so many gray days, even a pale sun is welcome.
