I'm fighting stress daily myself and painting in my calm whenever I can. I started this last night but
wasn't feeling good and decided to quit and knew I would try to get it posted tonight.
This helps me too.
Stress is to much these days.
We all need a break and something to look forward to.
I'm happy if I make just a few people smile.

Thank you for your support.
Makes me want to get something painted and posted!

Yesterday I spent the day cooking meals for 3 families sick from surgeries and one with Chemo.
So today was my rest day.
My therapy.

There’s something really appealing to me about this whole composition, especially the center daisy and the 7 green leaves over the crisp red lines of the barrow and the gracefully soft grays of the wheel.

and flowers. Daisies are my favorite flower and they last long even if you cut them and bring them in.
Thank you.

It jumps out at you as if it's been held back for a long time and is now exclaiming that she's arrived in all her glory.

I chuckle to myself sometimes because I always let the picture itself make its impression on me. Today, I'm embarrassed to admit, was the first time I compared my observation to your title and see I pictured something completely different lol.

From the title, I picture a very proud and avid gardener, who's passion makes her gardening an art itself.
