It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This...

| MY OFFICE |
My husband was travelling and sent me a picture of his office --a computer, cords and an ugly beige room. The office was a windowless mini box of beige on beige, it was sad and depressing. Of course he sent his #Jealous in response to "My Office" pic and text. I am thankful everyday that I get to make art, especially thankful for the sunshine on this November day.
Lately I have been closely watching the weather, looking for sunshine! I knew the temps were going to be abnormally high, but I had to wait until the last minute to ensure there was no rain in the forecast. Since I emailed late, I did not have any art friends who could meet me. I decided to go anyway, I had to be outside on this sunny day!
The day ended up being breezy (windier than I thought it would be). And, while the sun was shining, I was in the shade --I had to get up a few times to get sun on my feet which were cold. Otherwise this spot was perfect! I was tired and had to sit, so I set the Guerilla Box on the Picnic table with my painting supplies (my desk), it worked out very well!
I loved the colors - the red and yellow leafy trees against the blue water. I also loved the shapes - there were many horizontal diagonals! The foreground was the reeds followed by the water followed by the trees/shoreline and finally sky. I loved the diagonal patterns that these nature items made on my canvas. And, I like where this colorful fall painting is going. Unfortunately, I did not finish the painting, after a few hours I had to get back home. Yes, I intend to finish this painting. I need to work on my red tree and the foreground reeds. Sometimes you just cannot finish same day and that is ok, it was still a wonderful experience to get out of the house and to "get to work" --working in the most beautiful office!
Enjoy the sunshine and get to work,
