The 4th thing I learned again -- art makes people happy!

One of my favourite photos from last year (20220 was this one of India
Morgan.  Her delight and exuberance when I delivered the
her portrait to her mother, the amazing artist Georgia Fullerton
was a sweet treat.  (India is also an exceptional artist -- but so
far she hasn't posted her work.)

What a great feeling it is for an artist -- to make people happy.
It's an over the moon joy let me tell you.  Thank you to India for
sending me photos, and talking to me on Zoom. That's how I got
this painting done. 

Artists have trouble recognizing that what they do makes a 
difference in the world.  Making one collector happy is a solid
valid contribution.  So for my artist friends out there -- worrying
about your work -- create it, enjoy it, and realize that the right people
are going to love it, and cherish it.

Have a loving your life day.
