you who haven't been doing it lately, is that it
occupies your mind. When you start painting
every day, you go to sleep thinking about color,
and placement -- how to enhance, or fix what you
did that day. You paint in your dreams, and plan
new work. All of the anxious spaces in your mind
that could be filled with worry get filled up
with light, line, blue, gold, red, purple, yellow,
orange -- and of course black and white.
If you're not painting, start again. If you've never
painted, start and keep going. If you are painting,
high five, and here's to you!
Woman's Head
10" x 10"
acrylic on canvas
not finished yet
on today when I'd take a break from my big
portrait. I like the style a lot. It's based on a
friend of mine, but I don't care if it's a
likeness -- I just wanted to try something
different. I'll probably change the chin. Maybe
that's all.
Fresh Bread right out of the oven
Made by the incredible
bread baker -- Steven
movie. What a beautiful sight. Both the
movie and the home baked, healthy bread.
Have an eating-fresh-bread-day!

Barbara, that is a beautiful portrait! (as usual). So loose and alive and vibrant. I love your description of the thought processes....it is so true! Thanks for the talk!
And that bread....mmmmm..looks delicious. Maybe Steve would like to share his recipe...or start shipping the loaves this way!
Hi Flora,
Thanks so much for your comment. We're heading into our 100th
thunder storm in two weeks so
I have to turn off the computer.
Steven's put the dog, who gets
hysterical in storms, into her crate.
The bread recipe is my mother's
I think. Maybe I'll post it
another day.
Stay dry,
Barbara
