Painting Live

In spite of an unfortunate cold I picked up, I really enjoyed my Saturday morning spent painting at Good Earth Café.  I met many new people that were so kind and encouraging and also chatted with friends.  One young gentlemen (an interesting seven year old) pulled up a chair next to me and we had the most educational conversation.  He thought that the next painting I worked on should be a dragon...he loves dragons.  Apparently they are not easy to spot and live in pine trees.  What a pleasant fellow and such wonderful stories.  Can't wait until he's old enough to join the Jr Artist Program at the library.

I was able to complete one piece that I had begun previously and to begin another which I look forward to working on some more.  It was really a lovely morning.  I decided to title the new piece 'Sky Dance', my ode to Van Gogh's 'Starry Night'.  Like Van Gogh I painted it in the light of day, with a memory of the stars dancing in the night sky, though unlike him, I painted it in a beautiful location, while being served delicious vanilla bean tea by the fabulous young ladies at the café and listening to music I love.  All-in-all a perfect way to spend a day.
