Morning Deer.

5:30 a.m. playing with watercolours.  That's a magic hour.

I'm always grateful when I don't sleep right through it.

Its splendid outside today.  I have the studio windows wide open and the sun and the wind are coming inside.  I can see my ponies grazing on habit grass out in the field.

Habit grass, that's the invisible pasture grass that isn't really there.  It hasn't started growing and greening yet.  But they pretend its there and that they're eating it.  Habit.

The habit of peeling my butt out of bed at 5 a.m. to paint is working for me. Watercolour before coffee.
