Dear Friends,

"Gray November" is the 2nd piece in my work called THREE SCENES FROM POLAND (pamelahowland.com). https://youtu.be/mow3KBJTQYU These pieces were written as reflections on my year there (last week was the first - “Field of Poppies”, and next week will feature the third movement - “Golden Summer (Michael and Briana’s Song)”.

“Gray November” especially focuses on the gray, yes-depressing, world of November in Poland! I enjoyed finding the colors on the piano to express the melancholy, sorrow, and grief that this weather triggered. Wendell's painting "Dark Sky with Red Hills" (acrylic on canvas, 24 x 24, 2011 wendellmyers.com ) is the perfect complement.

Although enjoy is probably not the right word, we hope this fusion is meaningful to you.

All the best,

Pam and Wendell
