I have this idea for a painting I am working on. I was walking Lucy, and was suddenly taken aback by the beauty of the dark gray sky on the horizon, contrasting with the bright fall color. It looked as though the sky was falling.
In today's world, there are a lot of people that think the sky is falling. For some unfortunate souls, I am sure it is. Sometimes I feel like the sky is falling. But then, magically, I get a phone call or e-mail, and it makes everything better.
If you are given only lemons, and make lemonade, I think one can survive in today's world. So while the sky may be falling, there is a lot of beauty around us to contrast with the gray and bleak atmosphere. When the sky is gray, everything else looks great, by comparison.
When I finish this painting, "Falling Sky" (I like the pun with the Fall season), I will post it. Perhaps it will help someone see that good things are still all around us, despite the ailing economy, the costly wars, and the increasing price of everything we need to survive. I am reminded of my family and friends, and their unconditional love.
May you be surrounded by many hugs and smiles!
Cathy
