the first time this circle of seasons  out on the table in the SUN.   She went through the old cowboy's drawers and brought out all she needed…paper,  her watercolors,  mark making tools and got to it.  Over the course of the day she made 4 paintings.   This is my only one,   2 graphite and the Inktense pencils.   She does do illustrative work but her love is abstract and so it was yesterday.   Sitting next to her was an inspiration.  i loosened up    some   to get this far.     more is needed.    We talked  a lot and ate and played  with Minnow and …..did art.  Watched 5 butterflies,   the first of the season, and a tiny caterpillar.  Checked in on live streams of the country's Hands Off.  and at this table,  in this place,  for the first time in a long while,  all was well.

    Sometimes, that is all that is needed;a quiet day brimming with so much, togetherness, conversation, expressions both verbally and on paper- time together where love, simply is…
