Palm Tree Street

I can only paint early in the morning these days. It's too hot for painting outside by 11 am. This street has nice views and is a five minute walk from my apartment.

Spanish Style House

I haven't been getting much work as a substitute teacher so instead I've been wandering the neighborhood early in the morning looking for things to paint. I took longer than usual to paint this one, probably about two hours.

Further down the Shady Path

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

Robert Frost 1916
