Romantic Botanicals #22

Birthday Wishes

Today is my son's 10th birthday. I start painting at 7:20 in the morning so I can finish early and take him to Sky zone the trampoline place and do birthday stuff. The light is soft and it is cool and breezy. It is nice and peaceful when I start.

Morning light makes soft purples then overhead sun turns the world into sharp contrasts. I paint, then I  repaint. It gets confusing but I must stop at 1:30 argh... that is 6 hours straight painting. I like the feeling of riding the wave of risk that this painting brings out.
