It's great to be out doors again

It was great to be able to do my painting out on the lanai again, it has been so long since it has been warm enough.  There is such a difference in the quality of the natural light out there. Not that my art work is any better, but at least I can see what I'm doing better.  The rest just takes time.  There is just nothing more invigorating than sitting out there painting,while listening to the birds sing about how happy they are that we put seed out for them and water in the bird bath. It doesn't take much to make me content with life.  I don't need a trip to a mall or a fancy meal, just me, my paints and birds. Ahh!
