July Fifteenth

Mid-July

It seems impossible that we're already into the second half of the year. It's been a horrific year to-date and I don't see any improvement on the horizon. 

Horizon: the limit or range of a person's outlook or experience.

My niece reminded me of something my mother used to say: "this world and the next". Although I am almost positive that my mom was referring to heaven, it could mean other things as well.

"In essence, the phrase "this world and the next" encapsulates a fundamental human curiosity about the nature of existence and the possibility of realms beyond our immediate experience."

Why is is so difficult to take a photo of a painting and get the colors true? I'm very happy with this painting of lemons but getting the color, tone, values, etc correct in a photo was nearly impossible. Until I took a sideways shot of it.

The horizon changes as our perspective changes. The angle of light will change colors for me. I always have issues with colors and yellow is one of them.

Your words here are so helpful to me today, Faye, thank you. Isn't growing in our own maturity somehow really as simple and as difficult as "getting our colors true"? Blessings.
