My 8th recent painting.

I have been working on this one for awhile, since around June maybe, and it began as a room that came to my imagination in much more neutral tones, not a place I’d been that I knew, but when I would draw it and paint it, more intensity of color would come in naturally as the true mood felt, as though the whole still life scene was infused with great passion, love, warmth, togetherness, gratitude, and a dream scene of blue-green hills and a bright night come to life, the window likely open, curtains set aside, and with much to ponder and enjoy outside as well as inside.
