Day 14 of 100 Faces in 100 days

I just have to say .. that I am so happy to have started this and i do sort of giggle about getting up in the morning so i can paint. But I also have to say that I am not oblivious to the world although I don't choose to watch television unless I decide to watch an occasional movie. I have seen so much conversation about what's happening in the world that I feel this tug that somehow it's wrong to have joy in this midst of all the crisis.

When I am able to fill my heart with gladness I have so much more to give. I am in my head so much sometimes that spending this time perfecting a painting is a release from that. All my thoughts are on the painting. I put all my focus on creating and just letting it happen till I feel it is done. Sometimes I just have to let it be. Progress not perfection. If i am happy then .....I'm Happy!!! A dear person in my life told me that I could be happy every day. Then I think ... how is that possible? It seems that when I feel happier......I get happier haha. The opposite is also true. When I leave my house today, my smile will be there and hopefully my smile will make you smile and things will be better. Not perfect just better .. for a minute or for longer.

Today I love the texture of the paper and the sewing .............texture makes happy lol .. Thanks for stopping over and todays painting on my moms old wrapping paper and a piece of mail is sewn together and painted in acrylic. The size is 81/2" x 9 1/2". The price is the number of the day so this one is $14. Message me or email me an whoever sends me a note first will be the new owner of today's happiness. :) haha. Have a fabulous day and I hope you smile at someone.  Thank you for stopping over. I do love to hear your comments.
