Your happy effect on me

where Norene lives.

I'm thinking today about my artist friends who I see here in the
blog world, on Instagram, and on Facebook.  I don't look at
Facebook as often as I check out Instagram, but every time
I look at work by friends, and new social media friends,  I'm
inspired.

In Nova Scotia I was lucky to see some artist friends -- such
a treat. Norene Smiley is a wonderful artist in any medium she 
works on.  Right now one of her portraits -- a portrait of her
father (see above) -- is blown up billboard size, and featured on
the wall of the Pharmacy in Pugwash.

And I visited my friend Flora Doehler's studio in Bear River,
which is always an inspiration.  It was so lovely to see
her work.  I especially loved the collage I'm showing you here.

Thank you to all of the artists out there. I love your work, and
you keep me going.

Have a loving the artists' work you see day.
