I started a personal project that I’m calling “Finding Joy.” I wanted to look for and appreciate the little things in life and I wanted to get back to daily painting.
Since starting, I realized we have moments of joy during the day – “Wow that is pretty,” or “This is fun,” or “This tastes good.” But these moments can be fleeting. In painting them I’m extending the joy!
Finding Joy ~ Extending Joy
I started this project because I’m having skin cancer surgery on my cheek and I wanted to be in a place of positivity. It’s working!
