Movie night and a favourite



Reading in the kitchen

As I write this, I’m sitting in a park by Lake Ontario, watching people
enjoy the slightly cooler air, and having parties and picnics together.
It is very joyous.

The painting tonight that is one of my Before the Dance series
paintings featuring one of my favourite models Shakoya sitting in our
kitchen with my favourite coffee cup, reading a book. Shakoya
was an amazing model. I've lost touch with her because she was a student,
and no doubt moved on after she graduated. I usually work quite large so
it makes me happy that so much is happening in this small work.

Hope you enjoy this. Got to go. It’s time to find a movie.

Have a loving your life day!
