62 Late Bloom and Harvest (SOLD)

62 "Late Bloom and Harvest" 8x8 oil on panel, copyright Laura Gable

Dismayed today...

and that's ok,
the colors have a mind of their own--

leaning towards extreme, and a bit dark.

Autumn's sun is moving quickly today,

and my brush is moving slowly.

C'est la vie -- an attempt, though feeble,

is still making for a better day

than one spent counting beans

or counting cattle's legs and dividing by 4*...

and so it is what it is.

*reference to my old accounting jobs, and a friend's comment when I applied to do the books for a livestock company
(it didn't come about ... though I was an accountant, it seems, in another life).
