"Saturday Evening"

Cell phones really are a helpful tool. You never no when inspiration will strike. My husband and I were at a local home improvement store picking up a new sprinkler for my garden. When we left for home there was an amazing sunset unfolding. I was literally taking pictures from the moving car as we were leaving the highway from the exit ramp.
I really didn't think I would get any painting done over the weekend but my kids were all off in different directions and my husband put a new mulching blade on the mower and wanted to try it on the front lawn. So I ran up to my studio, which used to be a spare bedroom, and grabbed some paint brushes. Knowing I didn't have much time and may not finish but at least I would get one started for the work week. Well, I could go on and on, but I will speed this up, the kids brought pizza home for dinner, so I cleaned up and decided I would finish this painting Tuesday after the 3 day weekend. When I got up this morning I decided I liked the painting just how it is and didn't want to risk over working it. Besides the inspiration was but a fleeting moment and conveying that in the brush strokes is all a part of the process that I wouldn't want to destroy. Forgive me if you read this far and are bored I normally don't write that much on my posts.
Have a great week!
