Little Bits

 It is beginning to be too hot to paint
in the studio. My physical enegy drops,
the sun's glare casts a drowsy haze
over everything.
I have been caught napping
more than a time or two.
After a few winks,
I was able to complete the above
Little Bits this week, but that is all.
(Sigh.)

 I seem to be wanting to move on
from the small surface, (center, unfinished piece in photo)
to the larger one in the background.
I am wanting to break free of the sluggishness
with big, bold expression,
join the nature frenzy going on outdoors.

Sometimes it is necessary  to "jump" studio,
physically, get out of the confines,
pay attention to the voice
that says stretch a little bit.

This second image is stunning! Hard to work in the heat...cool mornings or evenings a better choice.

Thanks Blue Sky! Great idea to rise and paint early!

Working in the heat is so draining. If it's getting too hot now how hot will it be in July and August? Do you have a shady spot outside the studio to set up an easel? Your voice sounds like it could use some big and bold! Have fun.
