Insomnia

On Friday I went out for a paint with

the Al Frescos to

Frank Mitchel's farm in Metchosin.

Shortly after I began to paint the

rain started so I moved

underneath the eave of the red shed

to continue.

I couldn't see the sheep

or their lambs from my new position

but, as I continued to paint, I could hear them

ba-a-a-ing from the other side of the wall.

(I titled this painting

with Rose and Jeffrey in mind,

they've both been suffering from

sleeplessness lately.

I wish you both long, deep sleeps and wonderfully wild dreams !)
