Sunny day, everything's A okay

Actually it was a tough day in certain respects,
but physically glorious despite the high work
demand.  I have so much marking to do that
I can hardly see straight.  But this morning the
light that came through the opening in my
bedroom curtains was so compelling that
I had to paint it.

and dark areas.)

Abstract blocks of light fell across my dresser
glinting off picture frames, and my favorite
mirror, and leaving the rest of the tableau in
darkness.  A challenge to paint, but one I want
to try.  So here's the first few steps.

Have a loving-the-light-in-your-life day.

  1. Looks exciting already! It's so fun to have that 'gotta paint it' feeling isn't it? Good luck with your marking.

  4. Hi Sally,

    I'm enjoying it. I have to take it slowly, but that's okay.

  5. Hi Nicki,

    Marking is both stressful and fun. I learn so much. The time constraints are always something to work on. But you have an equally busy life, so you know what I mean.

  6. Hi Linda,

    Glad you like it so far. I am enjoying it. I love the mirror, which I purchased in my heavy antique hunting days when my kids were little. Now I have to move some of this stuff out of my house.

    Funny.

    Take care,

    Barbara
