I only had half a day to paint today. It is difficult to work from home, particularly on any form of art -- it seems that people don't take the 'work' part as seriously as they take the 'home' part. And on reflection I have to admit that sometimes 'people' includes me. I could turn off or ignore the telephone. I could allow the floors to remain un-swept for 7 more hours. I could let the dog sit at the door instead of letting him out. I could say "No, I will NOT host contractors, drive to doctor appointments, or run and pick up the missing ingredient for dinner!" But I don't. So some days I don't really do my work.
One day - hopefully sooner than later - I'll have a studio separate from the house, where telephones would be banned and dog hair will never make an appearance.

Ahh, but you would miss all those things, dogs and people . Those are what make your life full. love the painting, Gina
hi, I am new to your page, this painting is fabulous, I love water lilies and I really admire the way you use vivid colour, I am a photographer and usually my style is vivid, I am not much good at art, I do not have the patience although I have tried, looking forward to seeing more of your work
