A Painted House A Day
House #165
Rainbow House 1
I believe a rainbow is a sign, to make us slow down and ponder, meditate, and remember.
Rainbow House 1

I completed all of my house series! This means that each painted house up to house #164 has a complete set of nine in a series (with the exception of my first houses 1 to 18 which stand alone without a series.)
Today I started a brand new series with Rainbow House 1.
To be honest, I had no idea of what I wanted to paint today! I went into my studio to begin house #165 and nothing came to me. I looked at my notes and journals where I write down my ideas as they come to me, and nothing jumped out at me. I thought for a few moments that I would need to postpone todays house until I had my plan, this seemed easy, to write a post about why I wouldn't have this house ready until a later date. It also made me upset to think of not completing a painting.
I decided to step outside, as I often do (go outside) when I feel stressed or need a different point of view. I have always loved to be outside, in nature and in an open space. When I stepped outside this is what I saw...
And this in when I decided on my next series of, Rainbow House. Now, this wasn't actually the first time that I had this idea, for a Rainbow house. I had it in my thoughts for a while...but had forgotten about it and had not written it down in my notes.
This is why I believe that rainbows are a sign or a symbol to let us now that we can stop and reflect and take the time to remember.
I hope you enjoy this next series!
