This painting, not beautifully photographed, is the background in one
of the rooms in my studio. It is big, and is of a scene I love in Nova
Scotia -- one of the places where I feel very at home.
People will say art is a window into the soul. And that's true too --
but landscapes can be a window into where you love to be. So
this large landscape tells me that Nova Scotia is out there, and I'll
see it again -- but in the meantime -- isn't this beautiful?
Plus the painting -- a diptych -- also tells me that I've done this before
(painted large work) and can do it again -- so it gives me confidence.
I am so grateful for the art world, and the gifts it gives me, and to
my parents for sending me to OCAD years ago, and starting my
journey.
And while we're at it -- my kindergarten teacher Mrs. Jordan, who
started me painting.
Have a loving your life day.
