Happy Practice Painting

Happy Practice

I confess. I almost tossed this painting in the trash. This morning I decided to photograph it for the fun of it. It's not unusual for artists to toss away their work or paint over completed paintings. Maybe we should finish a painting and move on to the next without judging our work. Probably a good idea!

This painting asked me to call it "Happy Practice". It tells me to practice happiness in all I do. I'm not the one to judge, second-guess, compare my work to another. My job is to be happy! That’s all I need to do. Eventually the joy and happiness will seep into my work and viewers will feel some happiness too.
