Owning a business can be gratifying at times. And sometimes the weight of responsibility can suck the life out of you. A hefty repair bill was my dose of reality today, wondering how, in this age of operating at a bare-bones capacity, I'm going to pay for it. I've had better days. So I came straight home, made a pot of strong coffee and got lost in my paints. A dose of Zen.

Oooo, my two favorite indulgences, Art and Coffee. Sorry about your repair blues, it must be a whopper of a break down. Good luck with it all.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great work in special the way you shape the color with brush.

ReplyDeletelove the daring compostition, sort of a birds-eye view.
Zen is always good to sooth the nerves, very nice painting and love your composition.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about that large repair bill, Karin. I know quite well how bills can suck the life out of one. Sending you virtual hugs and hope for today.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that- escape to the paints. It is what I do too...I get lost in my landscapes and my head is in "a different place" for a while. The real world is still there, but it's nice for the mental get-away. I'm still enjoying receiving your emailed paintings & enjoying the 2 that I own! Cheers to you, keep up the wonderful work!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you painted anyhow - the painting is rich!!! And I hope your large bill will be behind you soon.
ReplyDeleteSeems like everyone I know is having uncharacteristic financial challenges right now. bummer...but we'll all get through this. At least food isn't rationed like it was in our grandparents day!
ReplyDeleteI love the swish of ochre in the coffee. It gives great dimension in one brushstroke which is what you do best!
ReplyDeleteThis rich cup of warm coffee looks so good this morning. Coincidentally, I just sat down to look up contractors to fix a leak and came to your wonderful site as my procrastination. Beautiful use of warm and cool colors. Lori Margulies
