It was 7:00am and he had been up for hours. He had gone down to the corner to make a sketch for a painting.

He didn’t need to color it, he would just make notes about which color numbers to mix, that would be it.

He waited another five minutes; and now he saw the ideal light on the walls of the old Parisian building. It was a light blue color, but with a yellow foundation too, giving it that special early morning blue light with the warm sunlight’s reflection. There was an open window and warm yellow light inside.

He worked the sketch for another twenty minutes. He liked early mornings.

 

 

People had this idea that artists get up late, and maybe it was true that many of his colleagues slept until later in the day.

He liked mornings, the fresh day and the rapid change of light and life during the first hours. He would go for a coffee and then to the store to buy paint when they opened at 9:00am.

It had been a long day; a productive day. He decided he would go to sleep at 10:00am. Just straight home and to bed, set the alarm for 5:00pm and get to work on the painting. It would be done before the next sunrise.

Tomorrow would be a productive day too...
