Summer…Time Out

All About The Sky...11x14 oil C. Kidder

” 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

 
 
 

Looking Out...8x10 oil...C. Kidder

  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!
