I wake smiling as The skyline of New York, the colors of Monet on my walls give me time to reflect each morning. The skyline was a present from my mother that she created with her cross stitch. This hobby has also turned out one of my favorite Monet adaption. The art in the morning puts a smile on my face as I realize what a lucky person I am. The smile that starts the day often fades as life and responsibily charge in. By evening fatigue and unhappiness at something has drained the early morning rapture. Today my daughter and grandaughter will arrive and I believe that will keep the smile on my face all day. I decided to share my art with you in hopes it puts a quick smile on your face and I hope that your smile does not fade by evening.
