Home in August

How refreshing to have temps in the 70s with cool breezes!  After an afternoon of family fun and chores, I finally got outside for my daily dose of art therapy.  The more I paint, the more critical I become of my work.  I tried to get that color right on the garden phlox with only cad red and alizarin, but finally threw in the towel and went in after my permanent rose.  Nothing short of that would work.  Magenta is a good choice, too, I simply prefer the color of the rose.  I'll look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow.  If I don't step away now, I may chase that light!  It has changed so quickly, I am actually tempted to do just that!  Yikes!  Painting number 2047 in 2047 days.
