Time Out!

Although my time for painting is limited for the moment, I manage to snatch at even 10 minutes during the day if only to scrutinize what I've done or to add a brush stroke here and there if necessary. We are doing work on the inside of our house so I am in the midst of moving things from place to place, getting rid of all that isn't strictly necessary. For me, a professed hoarder, this is a difficult lesson  but I'm beginning to like it.  I feel pounds lighter.


The other day, however, before the rainy season started, I took time out for a walk in the garden.

The last roses of summer

 Beautiful! Recharged my energy completely.
