| "Crisp Autumn Color" Pastel 5 x 7 © Donna Gross Available contact artist Today, here on the Central Coast of California, delivered overcast skies and cooler temperatures...blessed relief! The older I get the less I can tolerate heat and we have had unseasonable warm days lately here in Santa Cruz. So waking up today to gray foggy skies was a welcome change. After the usual morning coffee, scouring the newspaper, and other daily chores, I set off to the grocery store to stock up for the week. My husband came along for company and it made the foray ever more tolerable. Coming home with multiple grocery bags to unpack, I reminded myself not to complain about this least favorite domestic chore...certainly a "first world problem" to complain about having to unpack a week's worth of food. I reminded myself of my incredible good fortune just to have a grocery store with stocked shelves, let alone the food I brought home. And so I gratefully put the groceries away..... The piece above is a reworking of the piece below...What a change ! I sprayed the original with fixative to give it a new surface and reinvented ..... I am pleased with the result....which one do you like better? |
