I have these long breaks from painting..

...where I don't paint at all.  I'll do handwork: stitch, or knit.  Which I love.  But I feel that my work, my real work, is in the painting.

And so when I go back at it again I always get excited, full of energy and happiness, and want to post pictures of my painting right away, even if it's not done.

So, this is todays bursting-with-happiness unfinished endeavor:


it's rather large, maybe 3 ft. by 5 ft?  I couldn't get a good picture because it's just about evening-time here and grayer than grey outside.  Been raining so much I'm afraid my chickens are going to float away.  
But that's another story.  


And, this picture below is of a little note that I saw today that my daughter had taped to her window.  I love the sweet message, and that she writes such things for herself.  



Wishing you the very best that the world has to offer,

Jennifer

    1. I'm glad, Michelle! I've been having fun with a looser, more rhythmic painting style.

      And goodness, the message did make me feel happy!
