a few things that are making me happy right now...

secret, tree-lined passageways




shadows of all shapes and sizes




meeting a giraffe at the zoo




complimentary colors

being able to draw outside, even if it's just practice sketching





watching Winnie play with sticks that are twice as big as her

little pleasures



finding stars in your cereal bowl





going on a bike ride





shy violets hidden beneath a corner of the house





red-painted fingernails





open windows





bare feet





finishing a commission, even if it's not something you would normally paint



happy weekend, all!
