at the same time." — Thomas Merton In this not-so-still life, painted in plein air, my heliophobic orb tried his best to avoid the sun's scorching rays. He quickly ducked behind the glass and bucket, where he hung out all afternoon on the shady side of the table totally unaware of his transparent cover.
