Why Not Celebrate
Yesterday, for the first time since just before Thanksgiving, I woke up ready to paint. And just as I had done every day before Howard became ill, I got my coffee, went straight to the studio and touched brush to canvas. It didn't make any difference what the subject would be, I just wanted to paint. And so I opened my file of photos I shot from my kitchen window during our last snowstorm and found this male cardinal at the foot of the bird feeder.
This morning listening to Krista Tippett's "On Being," I heard a quote but didn't catch its author: "Wherever you go, there you are." Today, with the title of this painting, I add this: Why not celebrate.
Enjoy your Sunday.
