The creative act is the secret to joy.

There's truly nothing more fun to me than painting, cutting and glueing.  It's just like being in the second grade again!  I sat down this morning with no more than a black small stretched canvas and a vintage photo of a darling little boy.  A few hours went by, and I was astonished --- I thought it had only been about 20 minutes! And this little piece lay before me.  'Tis now in my Etsy shop.
