* My Little Love Birds

Today, while I painted, my little Love Birds (Doves) sat on the railing outside the studio, huddled up and puffed out like it was -40 degrees.  It was windy, but not cold.  The entire time I painted, they looked in on me, content to watch and be together.  At some point, the light was not good and I closed the curtain.  When I went to leave, I peaked out with my camera in hand.  They had turned the other way.  Nothing interesting to watch inside.

You can see what a delightful pair they are!
I painted for a couple of hours this afternoon.  My Goddess is changing.  She is becoming what I see in my head.  Certainly, not 'real' .. more of an illustration.  I have not painted this way before, so it's all very experimental.  We will see how she turns out.  Here's where I left her today.  It was very difficult to get a good shot because I'm painting in oils and there seemed to be a glare no matter where I stood.  The paint is still wet.


I'm going to take a little break for the summer. Won't be seeing so much of you.  I'll still be around, but not on such a regular basis.  Things to do, issues to get cleared up.  I'll be back in September.  In the meantime ... see you now and then.  Thanks so much for dropping by.  I love visiting all your wonderful blogs.  I'll keep you posted with this painting.
Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.  ~Ovid

I love your quote, I think it is a message to me.

What beauty you create, and I see even the birds admire you :D

Your painting (this one & others) is truly amazing, Donna. It seems to have a spirit within that you are bringing out -- and that is what I find amazing. I hope you do come back and update us on your painting or anything else when you feel like it, as I know many of your readers would welcome that! I did truly miss you yesterday. I had become accustomed to a daily post from Donna!!
But I also know what it feels like to not want to HAVE to post daily. For me it works best if I continue what ever I am doing on a daily basis (art, photography, whatever) but only post about it, catching up if I like, when I want to. This was a huge relief for me and I am much happier now.
So, take a break, recharge, and return to a rhythm that suits YOU. xo lenna

We have company and then there are holidays and on and on life goes. Sorry I haven't gotten back to your email. I am hoping to send some "organizing" photos. I thing of you often..hugs..Donna by the bay.
