Acrylic Painting

Here is yet another oft-painted view from the studio window..this time in acrylic.  I liked the idea of trying to do some houses without any bright sunlight.  Today was a good day for that and I like the results.  I usually depend on sun and shadows to give buildings some interest, but I am trying to work from life right now.  This was all I had to look at from the room where I now have my studio.  I moved into the smallest room in the house in order to get a bedroom ready for Josie in my old studio, but she decided not to come.  I didn't feel like moving everything around again, so I left things as they were.  I used to like this room because of the bright light, and I still do, so I am happy with the change.

Since I made such a nice bedroom out of the old studio, I have been sleeping in there.  I didn't move my clothes or anything, but I am always looking for something different in my surroundings.  I change furniture and rooms around as often as most people clean their houses.  At least I am able to satisfy my needs within the same house now.  I used to move so often that it became a joke among the people who know me.  Now I am settled here, but still in search of change.  I love waking up in the morning in an unfamiliar place, or reading the paper in a different spot in the dining room, or watching TV from a different part of the living room. I've never been able to understand why I feel as I do, but it seems a harmless obsession, and I am easily pleased.
