"The color of Spring is in the flowers; the color of winter is in the imagination." - Terri Guillemets

Being in semi-quarantine is giving me lots of time in my home studio, and while I find that much of what I'm painting is more somber in tone, this piece reminds me that there is always a bright side to every situation.  Like many of you, I am struggling to find a balance between being informed and trying to keep normalized.  At first I was watching WAY too much news...plus I was constantly on Facebook, reading the latest stats, critiques, opinions...until my head hurt. 

In the past week or so, I have limited my Facebook time, and only watch the evening news. I've started making sure I get outside everyday - walking in my neighborhood, listening to the birds sing their love for each other, watching the wind run its fingers through the prairie grasses, and the clouds making playful shapes in the sky.  These things remind me that no matter how bad it gets, this too shall pass.
