I've just finished this little watercolour and it's ratherlate at night. If I had infinite energy I'd keep painting
now. Steven fixed a beautiful, pewter, table clock on the weekend.
It's ticking, plus the big kitchen wall clock is thunking out
the seconds, and I feel hypnotised both by fatigue and
their insistent rhythm.
But if I could stay awake in the solemn quiet of the
night I'd paint the glorious Japanese Anemones
I brought in tonight -- standing out white against the darkness,
graceful beyond my imagination. I am human, and
glad that you are too. You'll understand I hope.
Here's a small watercolour of Nasturtiums and white
Cosmos. So little time, so much to paint.
Have a relishing-your-humanity-day.
This human loves all of your flower paintings and am thankful whenever you post their images here.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's been so long since I've been online. Your work is consistently strong and your words inspirational.
Take good care of yourself. The world needs you--and so do we.
Warm hugs from here!
Hi Melinda,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you love my work. You made my day, my week, my month, 2012.
I probably drink too much coffee. Because here I am again. dog tired, and still awake.
The world needs you and your art, and so do I. Thank goodness you are out there making art.
