I feel affection for these objects through your eyes. Your paintings are quite lovely. I especially like the bottle and the way you captured its light.

What a wonderful post, filled with superb images!

I hear what you say about taking breaks and this is a perfect way to do it (I wish I could paint, I can't!) because what a lot of us do, I'm sure, is check our phone/social media and that really isn't a break, it's something that crowds the brain (I am aware of the irony of what I am writing right here on Substack!)

This is not something I planned to share with anyone but I sometimes take breaks to dance. No one can see me, and it'll only be one song, but it's quicker than taking a walk and seems to release emotion which is often what I run out of when writing.

I do hope you are clear of your deadline soon and can go back to your easel: it's valuable to you and creates beautiful art.
