1. It is Holy Week, and our daughter will be home Maundy Thursday. We will be going to the lake this weekend for the opening of our lakeside church, The Church of the Living Waters. Wearing flip flops to church is fun! We will dye Easter eggs, eat hot cross buns, and play. Celebrating holidays with family makes me very happy!
2. I am enjoying Carol Marine's tutorials on the internet. I still want to attend one of her workshops. Maybe one day I will be so lucky! Here are a couple of paintings from her tutorials.
I have also found the time to play with Joyce Washor's book, Big Art, Small Canvas. Here are a few paintings from her tutorials. The canvases are only 3" X 4". I will show you some paintings from still life vignettes I set up on my own next week.
Learning always makes me happy!
3. Bonnie Blue Treleaven....her sweet face makes me so happy! She is so cute.
What has been making you happy this week? You really should link-up to this party. It will change your perspective! Mamarazzi does an amazing job with all of her parties every week, but this one is my favorite.
Until next time...
Blessings!
