Bedazzled again

(I think it was the quick part of
Laura Starett's idea of the
20 minute study that appealed
to me. Time is so short this
week.)

I posted this painting in 2010. That's 16 years ago, and a lot has
happened since then, but I like the fact that I did the painting 
in 20 minutes.  So cool.  My beautiful older son as a kid.

I am working on something that's taking weeks. Maybe that's
appropriate, but the speedy person inside me is impatient.
I will get it finished.  So much detail.  

Sixteen years ago in this day I was dazzled by the night sky. 
Today Steven and I went for a long walk by Lake Ontario. 
There was a very strong wind, and the waves were magnificent
-- leaping against the shore.  Magnificent.

Have a loving your life day!
