A small and happy painting

(In the original I tried to include
a suggestion of Marcia.  Looking
at it later, I realized that the
figure part, and yellow background
weren't working.  I painted out the
figure and changed the background 
colour and like it much better.)

Today is a busy day in our house.  I'm working on several paintings, and
nothing is ready to show you yet. So scrolling through my blog I saw this
painting, which filled me with nostalgia for a time when we used to
see friends at the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) on a regular basis. 
COVID changed that in so many ways.  First because the restaurant
was closed during lockdown, and then because people just didn't meet
to go out the way they used to do.

So yes it's time to get back to that tradition.  It's so joyous to wander 
around looking at beautiful art, and then to enjoy a tea or coffee in a 
pretty restaurant.

Have a loving your life day!
