dreamy summer afternoons
Today is the first day I have completely free in two months. I celebrated by spending the better part of the day in a comfortable chair reading Amor Towle’s new book Table for Two. Towles is one of of my favorite contemporary writers. If you have never read his work, I recommend it. Start with A Gentleman in Moscow. I took a little break mid-afternoon to make this still life composition which, upon reflection, feels a little whimsical and dreamy. Not unlike my day.
still life composition of dried botanicals
Amor Towles – yes,yes,yes! I read The Gentleman….. once a year, I am never disappointed- only when I come to the beautiful last page.
Once a year! Wowsa. I have never done that. I am a one-and-done kind of gal. I think I’ll try it!
Oh, this is indeed a dreamy composition, I just love it ❤. Well done, MJ. While a single specimen is always good to see, your eye for a good “shaped” comp is exceptional.
Yes, Amor Towles is wonderful. Just finished his newest. Glad you had a relaxing day, finally.
Thank you for the kind words about my composition! After all these years, it’s still not “easy”. I thought it would get easier. Alas.
