Description
You've had one of those days ... seems like everything you touched went wrong ... you almost feel like you need a reset button on life.
We've all had those kinds of days. What's the solution? Lots of us go for a stiff drink, some of us for a long walk, some dive into a good book, some just vege in front of the television. But instead of a reset button, maybe we should all have a reset place ... a spot where we can take a few moments to collect ourselves, get back in touch with our dreams. A place without phones or computers or other noises and distractions where we can take a long, refreshing deep breath ... and find serenity.
This particular image is a landscape version of a previously posted vertical image that I named "A Restful Retreat." Both images were created from my own original photographic work using the Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm vr Nikkor lens, and taken at the home of a dear friend, in Annandale Virginia. This view was worked on and created in Photoshop CS6 then finished in Corel Painter 2015 and completely digitally hand-painted with the Wacom tablet and brushes. My thanks to Karen Burns for the lovely hint of texture and for several of the brushes used.

I just love the way you express yourself, Lois. So beautifully modulated and so very true. I have had these days recently almost daily! (haha)...got a fitbit and I did not have a smartphone, got an iphone and needed to learn, got a new ipad and the homepage was vertical......you get the gist of it, no doubt. This beautiful painting will hopefully sell because it is what everyone should have in their house.
