One of my favorite things to do at the farm is to watch the world wake up early in the morning.

Sitting on the back porch with a cup of coffee listening to the birds start to sing - all bring me joy.
My artwork brings me joy as well. The whole process of mixing colors,
putting brush to canvas, creating a beautiful picture - all a wonderful joy-filled time spent with the Lord.
Having a talented artist recognize my talent and encourage me is joy-filling. David Tripp is a very talented watercolorist and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. It's through him my paintings are showing in a wonderful gallery - The Redlands Gallery in Palestine, TX. You can click on both names to read more about them. So yes, this has brought much joy into this artist's heart.
Spring is a time of renewal and that always brings joy to a Winter-weary heart. The wildflowers are bursting into bloom, flowerbeds awakening, and baby animals frolic in pen and pasture.

I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. 😊
My hope is I capture joy in my paintings. To paint scenes and things that bring joy to your heart and mind.
