I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

'Morning' - W&N watercolour on DalerRowney 300gsm
It is SUCH a pleasure waking up to sunshine at 5am in the morning after months of darkness until about 6.30am. Getting up early is one of my long-standing habits and when my biological clock wakes me up at 4am on a cold winter's morning, still pitch black outside, it upsets my whole day because I can't carry my first cup of steamy coffee out onto the patio to greet the day. And early morning really is one of the great pleasures of the day, when only the birds are chatting to a still half-asleep world.

DeleteHello Maree:) I'm more a night person! Love it when everybody is a sleep and I can hear the silence of the night:) Your painting is wonderful. You can catch the morning dawn on it:)
ReplyDeleteHi Renate! Thanks a lot, so glad you like this! I understand what you mean, I used to be a night person, but as one gets older, it seems you need less and less sleep! and because I'm awake so early in the morning, I've replaced my quiet night time with quiet morning time!
