Happiness in art

I'm sorry that I don't have a clearer picture of this family portrait that I love.
It was a Christmas present for the father, and delivered on Christmas eve
that year. The children were amazing, and I was inspired by the mother's
love for her children and her husband.  Her husband was very moved
by the painting.

That is one of the great pleasures of being an artist -- understanding the
collector's wishes and making them happy.  I'm thinking about happiness tonight.
Last year at this time was a very hard time in our family.  And despite
worries and fears about what's happening in the world, it's important
to value and enjoy the times when all is well in your life.  It is, and
thank you so much everyone who makes my life so good.

Have a loving your life day.
