Finding A Balance Between Sleeping Beagles and Painting

image.jpg

It's a chilly winter night in Upper San Diego. I am seated in a cozy corner of my family room between 2 warm, dozing beagles (top picture above). 

I don't want to disturb the beagles by getting up but I need to go into my studio because I want to paint.

Instead I have decided to stay sandwiched in between the 2 warm beagles and edit pictures from France on my phone for painting tomorrow. 

I guess I have found balance.
