My happy self

Easy to go down the rabbit hole (get depressed) in these hard
and bizarre times.  This image I drew from a portrait of me
as a little girl that my father, an excellent photographer took,
made me happy.  Quite an achievement for a drawing! I was feeling
very blue.

I also worked on a painting for an upcoming show and that
made me happy.  Plus just sitting on our back porch looking at
the flowers and trees, and my backyard neighbour waving at me --
it all gives me hope.

Have a loving your life day!
