I had a great painting session yesterday; something I am grateful for since the last few times I have painted, it felt too contrived - very pedantic. I had not been very happy with the results and ended up painting over quite a few of the canvases.But, yesterday, all the stars aligned and I created a painting that captured the colour and dynamics I was looking for. I have been continuing to work with the “Google Earth” theme – imagining what the Earth looks like from space, then abstracting the landscapes. Since the 
evening was beautiful, I worked outside. The layers of paint were very heavy so I left the canvases to dry outside. Next morning, I went to check out the drying process and discovered that a chipmunk (I have them living in my garden wall) had walked over another wet painting and onto my large canvas. He must have had a creative sense as the tiny footprints followed the same lines as the dark blue paint. I loved the look and decided to leave them in place. Called the painting “Mother Nature” since she had a hand in creating it!
