Early morning start. Too many blank pages to fill, still, so trying to paint as the light falls into the day. It is peaceful then. No phone calls or demands from a sleeping world. Just peace and this morning the steady drumming of rain on the roof.
Already decisions have had to be made.
1. What colour to paint a lion's wings.
2. To wait for the rain to stop to walk the dogs.
3. What to wish for.
Later, after hours spent painting, listening to music, radio, dvd, looking out of the window at times ( and the weather vane looked glorious with the moon behind it, sailing over the house)....
...the painting was almost finished and I was almost at the point of crossing off another blank page.
such beautiful wings!
ReplyDeleteI love the small hours of the morning so peaceful & quiet even in a city of 4 million people.
T love that kind of day. Thanks so much for sharing so I could recapture that feeling

The post is written in such a suspenseful manner, that I thought you going to write "... and then I spilt the water! or ... the cat jumped onto my desk" Fortunately, I can see it went well, a beautiful choice of colours, as always.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely... facinating to see you at work. do you always paint with your painting at this angle, or did you prop it for the photo? just wondering...

I work flat, Ulla. Just propped up for photos and to get a proper look at it.
ReplyDeleteThought that might be the case, but thank you so much for the clarification! Would have been a wonder - had you discovered how to paint without paint running with gravity!

Your photograph of the magical weather-vane with the moon behind it is just enchanting!
