sunshadows

we've been without sunshine in ohio for weeks now. 
just rain and clouds and chill.
and just when i thought i couldn't take much more of the gloom, the sun peaked out!

today has been spent finding the sunniest parts of the house and curling up in the bright and the warmth.
it's been working and painting across sun-shadowed paper.
it's been wonders and wonders for the soul.

    I like that little cut-out chair beside your paper. It's like...what's she gonna do with that chair?

    I feel you-- I live in Ohio as well and the weather has definitely put a damper on my spirits. Thank goodness for some nice warmth today :)

    a little sun. a simple paint brush. a touch of color.

    the perfect cure for the winter soul.

    i enjoyed the sun as much i could before going to work. sad, sad. with all the rain, my lawn is a swamp. the thing that irritates me the most is that i can't wear flats!

    Indiana's been the same way. Dark and rainy. It's going to snow soon though!

    Also, I love your desk.

    thank you all so much! i get a little shy about showing my work. i'll definitely make sure i do more of it!

    p.s. lacey! i use gouache! it's like a watercolor but heavier...perfect for my acrylic sensibility!
