Spring Has Sprung

February 23, 2018

Spring Has Sprung    watercolor on paper

Thoughts of spring are blooming in my mind, and it has already sprung up in my heart. Something tells me that the Easter Bunny might just like a fancy little smock, so I painted one for her and handed her a bouquet.

An Afternoon of Hygge

March 25, 2017

An Afternoon of Hygge   8"x10"  watercolor on paper

A simple practice of cozy. There's nothing like the comfort that can be found in the company of good friends and a warm bowl of hot soup.  

A Definition: Hygge: (noun) A Danish word for a quality of coziness (=feeling warm, comfortable, and safe) that comes from doing simple things such as lighting candles, baking, or spending time at home with your family: You can read more about Hygge here, through this fun article courtesy of The New Yorker.

Come to find out, I've been practicing this lifestyle since I was a child, I just never knew the word for it before now.
