Painting What Happens To You



Here at Sportsman's Lodge, it's pruning time.  I was somewhat dismayed at the timing since temperatures dipped below freezing for several days after the cuttings.  But what's done is done.

When I woke up this morning, I saw that the workman had left his ladder behind.  The green of the ladder against the red-orange of the palm tree drew my attention.

I had another subject in mind when I set up my easel on the balcony, but my eyes kept going back to the palm tree and the ladder.  I decided to paint an event rather than a subject.  As I've said before, sometimes you just have to wait to see what happens as well as what you see.
