” Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmer of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky is hardly a waste of time…” ~John Lubbock
Today instead of doing loads of laundry and errands that can wait I’m going into my Studio to finish a painting of the beach that I started earlier in the week. There won’t be any greenheads or noisy beachgoers kicking up sand. I’ll be alone … just the way I like it. Time Out. And after I’m pleased with the progress of the painting I’ll park myself in a lawn chair to do some sky watching . Maybe even close my eyes and take a nap…. “Summertime and the living is easy….” it can be.

Summer is a wonderful time to slow down and receive the gifts of nature. I love sky watching too!
Beautiful, Colleen! Very Fairfield Porter to my uneducated eye.
Thank you so much Heather…what a compliment! Fairfield Porter is one of my favorite artists! For some reason I just now received the notice of your comment or I would have replied sooner!
