30 Paintings in 30 days
Day 12
Sometimes I wander about in my mind. Some would even call it time traveling. Perhaps they're right.
It is a bit blustery outside my place at the moment. Not a lot, but enough to tell it's winter. I'd need a warm hat, mittens and maybe even a fortifying hot chocolate before putting one tootsie outside my front door.
Times like this I'm glad I have my pretend fireplace as I sit sipping my oh so hot chocolate. Then my mind slipped it's leash as it sometimes does and ...
I'm reminded of a hot bright early fall Saturday traveling back from painting at another artist's studio.
I went under a bridge much like this one.
The change from blinding bright light to the cool shadow under the bridge and almost immediately back into the light on the other side was both blinding, and astounding for a moment until I came back to earth.
I wonder if that's how it was for our friend Major Tom when he left us for another place two days ago.
I salute you David Bowie.
I trust you're waking them up there just like you did down here.
