Shadows and Light

My auntie is up napping again so I have a chance to check in. These art lessons are tiring her out, I think. My sis in law and I are enjoying them very much though and have almost finished our first painting. We have only some rocks to paint and are then on to our next painting, a portrait of Bella, one of my cats. That will be very challenging compared to a landscape. We had to go back to town for more canvasses today and that will do us. She leaves Thursday and we have some other activities planned for Sunday and Monday. Life will be pretty boring after my aunt leaves but I have to get busy with my glass commission so it will be busy, even if a bit more boring.

We've been having absolutely glorious weather and tomorrow is supposed to be warm and rainy. I was hoping to get some snowshoeing in but it's been too busy. The the rain may take all the snow away but I hope not. I'm sure more will come if such a thing should happen.

Joni Mitchell is bringing the songs today. Shadow and light is what we're learning about this week and Joni's song, Shadows and Light is one of my favorites of her works. I love the African sound in the harmony. The Gallery fits in well too.

Two of my Mitchell favorites, and it's been years since I've heard "Shadows and Light." A nice Sunday morning treat.

Sounds like you're having a very productive time with Auntie. I hope you'll share a painting.

I don'r know about sharing a painting, Ralph. I'm entirely an amateur. I made a mistake the other day and almost threw it in the garbafe.
