Self in the morning - Like Summer I.

Today is Tuesday, it is raining and it is not cold. I got up early, did a bit of gym, let Oscar sit on the balcony, read e-mails, showered (washed my hair) and had breakfast. Whole-weat breat with a little butter, joghurt and coffee.

I made the bed, opened the window-shutters in the bedroom, watched some blackbirds sitting on a vertical wall on branches of wild wine, picking at the tiny berries.

I went to the bathroom, brushed my hair, then Oscar came and wanted to be brushed too. So I brushed him (-he has his own brush,) he purred and wanted to bite me which is a proof of love.

I went to my desk, which is very high cause I like to work standing when I paint and draw. I thought that it would be nice to draw something before working on the things in process. Draw something for the AEM. I took my Moleskine and a black pen, went to the big mirror in the tiny hall and draw a morning-selfportrait, as honestly as I could. I like the earnest expression of my face. My husband says that it looks older than me and that my face is not so "hollow".....:)

Now I'm going to paint a sun, green grass and leafs, white birds in a perfectly clear blue sky, red roses and strawberries, blue-green water and girls in summerdresses because it is really too grey outside at the moment.

(Well, finally I got the girl, the sun the sea and the sky, the birds and the green grass:-)
