Just a thought for today

When I am not painting and doing the things that one needs to do in order to paint, I walk and think.

And today , I was thinking of friends and family I have lost and my own oblivion to come (hopefully in the far far future) and I thought: for me it's not the death and dying. It's knowing that life will go on without me and I'll miss it all.

Then I went downstairs to the dungeon and painted the next value on the green clothesline roofline. And it was good.
