Cemetery Hill on a Lazy Susan



My Lazy Susan is finished.
For the past couple of days I rushed home from work and sat down at my desk to paint. I didn't clean. Laundry is still in the hamper. I ate bread and snacks all week for I didn't go grocery shopping. Phone was left unanswered.
I just put music on and painted. I would love to come home to one of these houses. Alas, my home is an apartment in a large block of apartments but a girl can dream.


The trees are turning golden in the crisp cool air of fall. I added some tombstones around each house.


And all the houses got details going on. Wooden boards and window panes.


Some effective shadowing and a gate to the neighboring cemetery. They say those are the quietest of neighbors.

And bats are patrolling the sky in search of pesty little bugs.


I enjoyed painting it but I feel it took me way too long. If I want to do this to make a happier living and reduce my hours at the dayjob I really really need to speed things up.

It is a shame that there are only 24 hours in a day. From those 24 hours most of it is spend on sleeping and work. But I pledge, I vow that by this time next year I will work less hours at my day job and more hours in my livingroom studio. I just have to.

And now it is Saturday. Blissful Saturday. I have so many things lined up to do.... but that is for my next post.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Be joyful in whatever you do :)
