Thundershowers all morning. I go outside to check all our downspouts and make a map of the problems but don't start painting till 2:30. A neighbour comes by while I am painting to chat about art and his experience at art school. It is good to connect with another creative person.
This is a 3 hour painting. This work has a lightness because I started out making a yellow painting and then felt I wanted to keep the same colours of my previous Yarrow to connect the two paintings. The yellow underlay gives the turquoise a warm glow. I want to show this crossroads and falling down feeling. The stems crisscross and bend down but there is an optimism that things will be redeemed.
