I painted this little bitty picture in watercolor, from an upside down reference. I have never done that before and it was quite a revelation. Although it has it's flaws, I learned that when the reference is upside down, you paint shapes, instead of painting it how you think it should be. I'll definitely try that again.

"Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference."- Virginia Satir

Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

- Norman Vincent Peale

Have a great, carefree day!
