five good things

first layers of the magic garden (acrylic, ink, oil pastel, pencil on canvas)

1. as an introvert, I do my best work alone, but I sure do miss regular exposure to work friends (I’ve been contemplating returning to full time work and work friends are in the “pro” column)

2. if there was an award for best tuna salad sandwich I would probably win it

3. I want to live in a world where the real life detectives in ‘unbelievable’ get the medal of freedom

4. we have so many low-tone chimes around the house that on a windy day I can close my eyes and be transported to a west coast pier. also simon’s bark sounds just like a sea lion, rounding out the daydream

5. painting is the gardening of winter
