"Marbles In A Black Box" oil 9"X 12"

In the mood to paint something fun and colorful, I looked around my studio while still drinking my first cup of coffee, not fully awake, but determined to turn the morning into a productive one.

A single marble sitting on the window sill caught my eye and before long I had several more marbles piled into an empty slide box, fresh paint squeezed out on the pallet, and a clean canvas on the easel.

By the time I poured my third cup of coffee, the painting was well underway with music playing in the background and me finding that special rhythm that makes for a good painting day.
