each moment, even each rainy day

A small series of four pictures from the other night which came quickly. It was the first clear sky in a week, at least and it felt good to be out mixing colours. Out of the four, I really only like the second and fourth ones but I put them all up though not in the order they were made. 

There isn't much to say except that at least they live because I created them when I did. For many years I often used to curse myself when I didn't work because it felt to me (in only a very metaphorical way as I do not wish to offend anyone) it was like having an abortion. If I didn't show up to take a chance  on life, none of these things would see the light of day, nor would I have the pleasure and the pain of each creation.

So, I take what I can each day, each moment, even each rainy day.
