Like Haiku

A painting a day
contains me, frees me:  dive in,
create, stop, move on.

After dinner yesterday we explored a snippet of coastline in our vacation neighborhood and walked in the evening's temperate breezes.

After breakfast today I explored the slipperiness of gessobord and the intrusion of sunlight's dancing bold as brass through our windows in all sorts of ways not conducive to painting. I noticed my resistance and frustration more than once.

I painted, I stopped, I let go. Tomorrow I'll dive in again.

These coastal waters of Maine are cold in June.

Just sayin'.
