eclipse

Last night there was a lunar eclipse, coinciding with the winter solstice - I heard that these two days, before last night, had not converged in something like 400 years. Did I see it? No.  I think I felt it, though.  How else to explain the urge to paint, coinciding with the discovery, amongst the ruins of my closet, of two beautiful sets of paints, both oil and acrylic, and a box spilling out canvasses, all shapes and sizes, all blank.

So I painted this. It's small, but I like that about it.  And I like the way it looks on my wall.

I think I'm going to make more like this.
