Let's invent one -- International I'd like to paint day

I've spent most of the day today working on organizing journals
and sketchbooks.  Needless to say I have quite a few. I'd
love an International holiday called, I'd like to paint day.
I'm pretty sure we can invent one.  Let's make it today!

So I thought I'd write this before I begin to paint.  The painting
above started out as a simple landscape.  Then I saw this adorable couple
in the park, and had to add them in.  The result? Pretty good.

The painting tells the story of a beautiful fall day in a
gorgeous park 
on Lake Ontario.  The woman is telling
the young man 
that this is why she brought him here -- to see
this incredibly magnificent
 scene.

We are not seeing the bright fall colours for the most part 
here.  The hot summer weather just cooled off yesterday.
But here's hoping.  Meanwhile -- back to work for me.

Have a loving your life day!
