Delight

How can one help shivering with delight when one's hot fingers close around the stem of a live flower, cool from the shade and stiff with newborn vigor!

Letting Go

I have found that the more I go into a subject the more I can let go. An artist, I think a Royal Academician ( I can't remember his name) once said that in order to paint freely first you have to  learn to paint the traditional way. This one is experimental, not sure if it works, but I had fun nevertheless.
