This feels right for today

Tonight I had my first session this year with my art group, and I got an okay portrait
painted in the 40 minutes I had to paint.  (As I've said before -- my husband drops
me off, and picks me up exactly an hour later.) The model was fabulous, and it
was so nice to see everyone again. 

I was looking for a painting with happiest in the title and this came up.
It hangs above the couch in our TV room, and each time I see it, I know
it needs more work.  So that will probably happen before I put it in my
solo show in April. I love the painting. The clouds are just right -- my 
focus when I painted it. I love the clouds in Nova Scotia.

I decided to take some deep breaths today if anything about the world was
driving me crazy, and to notice what is beautiful.  It was a bright,
sunny, very cold winter day here in Toronto, Canada.  So we felt lucky.
I saw friends in the morning, painted during the day, and got to see my 
art group.  All in all a pretty perfect day.

Have a loving your life day.
