Random Friday: Reflections

I love the way the evening sun comes through my window. The last rays fall over everything and I just have to stop, sip a cup of java and watch it go down. I like the golden look to my apartment in the evening time.

When I talk to my friend on the phone and she stops to say something to her teenage daughter I hear nothing but love in her voice. I like the way she says her daughter’s name and the way she speaks to her gently, void of sarcasm and anger. It’s nice to hear.

Watching the Three Stooges sleep today made me want to join them in a nap. Captain was on his back spread eagle, Grace was on the back of the loveseat facing the wall, nearly fading right into it and Bella curled up in a ball by the picture window as tiny as she could get. The sweetness of it was heartwarming. I wonder why it’s such a wonderful feeling to watch our loved one’s sleep?

Once someone told me that they believe I have found peace in this world. They believed this because they said they could see peace in my artwork. I told him, no, I don’t feel peace so I feel compelled to paint it. With that I give you Ladybird who lays in her red dress (my favorite colour) watching the evening sun in the company of a dove. You’ll also find her in The Pretty Picture Gallery on the art site.

This weekend I intend to make peace with a few things, and wait until later to process those that I cannot.

    I also like the sound of cicadas in the evening time but somehow the lady laying in the mist listening to a huge cicada over head just didn’t have the same feel as this one ya know?
