The Art Of Sleeping

Lately I have not been sleeping well. By that I mean that I wake at 3:00am and

toss and turn for the remainder of the night until I roll out of bed at 6:30am.  

I am not a good sleeper. 

I am beggining to think that there is an art to having a restful sleep, and that I do not 

posess any inherent talents for this art. During one of these episodes of insomnia that I 

experience, I thought I would doodle with my new pencil crayons. The lilac coloured rose 

below is the product of my early morning doodles yesterday. While it was nice to pass the 

time creating art, I am hoping that this phase of nocturnal drawing will pass.

CHEERS!

SENTINELS AT SUNSET

The following video shows the progression of a painting 

that I have just completed. Fisher Peak and the Steeples

are formidable snow covered summits highlighted against

 a beautiful vista of purple and pink clouds at sunset.  

 

Fisher Peak Painting

 

 

I have been painstakingly adding the slightest details to the

mountain range that I am currently painting. I refer to the pain because

 last week I broke my middle finger and cut the tip of my pointer finger

 on my right hand. My bruised and sore fingers have developed shades

 of blues/purples and pinks that would rival the colours of this sunset. :)

How I wish I was ambidextrous!

Needless to say, it has been challenging.

Cheers!
