I’m stuck. I can’t hear what this house is saying. So I sit and stare. Speak.

Sometimes, well, most times actually, when I paint something, I usually have a story floating around in the background. And this is hers:

The door was locked and words were whispered, “We promise we will come back soon.” So, ever the lady, with dignity and poise, she waits. There is no malice, nor bitterness; With childlike naivety, that those who spoke those words are trustworthy, and will return home. Soon. FL

“In vain she raised her hand to hide her shame.” FL

I was driving home one night with my brother Phil, and there were whales in the clouds. #365daysofart #whales #humpbacks #silly #fantasy #doyouseewhatisee #sketchbook #whatsinyoursketchbook #paintontheplane

It actually was closer to the cat bus on “my neighbour Totoro” bit I shan’t steal his idea. 😁

Would you like to know an interesting fact about painting in public? Nobody cares.
DAY SEVENTY and I can see the difference in the landscape today!!
69/365 Sometimes I start painting, just to see where it goes, and I thought to myself, I’ll paint in the trees, and then I’ll figure out what’s happening with this house. Turns out, this house just wanted to be seen as it was. “Here I am,” it says” broken, with some parts missing, but me nonetheless.” FL I read a quote somewhere that said something to the effect of: if you erase all your past mistakes you’ll end up erasing yourself. We are the cumulation of our experiences and choices, they expose who we are, they make us who we are, the good, the bad, the ugly. No wonder we long to be loved AS we are, not who we could be, or who we pretend to be. Happy Sunday. [ A special thank you to @thecrookedpeak for the use of your brilliant Newfoundland images]
