Vitamin D

There is something so wonderful about the sun. We get a lot of it here and I don't mind it at all. I love to meditate as the kids swim and observe the strong contrast that such a bright, direct light casts onto the earth for a few months. Most things I have painted usually include strong shadows because I love how much they add to a simple shape. Anyway, as I was by the pool the other day (it's still been so warm here), I was reminded how this summer I kept intending to take pictures of our floating pool toys and want to try and paint them, and only them. Just the toy and the shadow and leave the rest of the paper white......... I wonder what it would look like.....
