Wake-up call

In Bali the sun rises and sets at about the same time everyday because we are almost on the equator. It rises at about 6:30 and sets around 6:00. Every morning about 5 o'clock when it is just getting light the rooster next door starts and then the dogs and then the sweeping and then the motorcycles and then it's time to get up. This rooster likes to run back and forth across the wall along the driveway making sure the neighborhood is awake.
This nanas was in the refrigerator for the longest time so before it got tossed I tried to paint it. What a mess!

I always thoroughly enjoy your descriptions of your time in Bali, Jennifer--I feel as if I can really imagine what your life there must be like. You really ought to do a book! It'd be beautiful with all your gorgeous paintings. These are two more vibrant examples.

Beautiful rich colors ... I love how you treat the negative space; something I generally neglect!
