As I sit here in my studio gazing out the window I am pondering the changes that have transpired because of the loss of my dear maple tree. I really feel the loss when I am outside and feel the oppressive summer heat that is baking the side yard to a crispy brownish hue. Today when I was driving past the house I longingly looked up through the sideyard and was dismayed by how open it is with hardly a break in the vista from house to house. I just cant get used to it. The first view above shows my early morning view, and this is my midafternoon shot.
I suppose as I study the differences I can be happy about the open panorama of the horizon that I didnt have before. This exercise is begnning to demonstrate to me that in fact we should find the good in every circumstance and be happy for what we have. I shall now look forward to painting the southern sky as seen through the studio window!
