I am
in medias res, in the middle of—and I mean
really right in the confounding mucky impenetrable middle of—an ongoing cyber snafu I have yet to resolve. Anxiety, or worry, or frustration, or whatever the heck the feeling is, crowds my mind like something physical—something dark and weighty lodged in my head.
But I laughed out loud a short while ago, knowing I'd found a title for today's painting when I saw the words
I did have a trouble or two on my mind in a novel I was reading!

Yes cyber space and the internet can really cause lots of frustration! You'll get it fixed,or it will suddenly fix itself. I remember the frustration when I couldn't answer on your blog. I can sense the frustration and the calmness in the image, sort have to let it go feeling.
Fun that you can sense both calmness and frustration in my painting, Carol! This piece evolved pretty quickly of its own accord.
Thanks for your wishes re computer conundrums : )
so curious how peaceful and calm this piece looks given your cyber frustrations! I see a google earth image of rivers, canyons and forests...
To my surprise, and despite palpable feelings of frustration and discouragement re losing the entirety of my Quicken business register, the painting part of me felt calm, intuitive, and sure. Go figure.
I, too, have a sense of looking down on our sweet planet here.
A little wavy, but the waters are mostly calm..that's what appears to me in this painting. Like, perhaps, a passing boat shook things up a little, but it's nothing the water can't handle. I suspect that's true about your computer woes, also, but I might be reading it wrong.
Love your read of this, Katie. Thanks!
