We've played Star Wars in the Hallway and I've painted a little while doing a lab safely training online. My daughter the science teacher laughs at the thought of me being responsible for flammable chemicals. Of course, I'm painting trees. I could do that blindfolded. There is something so sensible yet romantic about the parade of leafy maples showing off their best dresses.
I keep trying to paint this Portuguese fishing village. The persepetive is tricky, because the viewer looks up at the hill and down at the water. I've also never explored all the shapes and colors of small watercraft presented in the photo. But I can picture sitting there fishing or swimming and hearing the lapping of waves. In the photo, people cluster all along the sidewalk. With so many dwellings together, I'm sue you can smell cooking, hear chatter, and see small children running around.
I also took a moment to be appalled at the state of my flowerbeds.
I love the contrast here. The dusty Miller plants are quite pushy and crowding out all the others.
