I'm currently taking a break from a project that is driving me bonkers!
Maybe I should think of it as a "happy accident". More on that later.
Taking a break for me usually means grabbing a paint brush and getting busy.
There's just something so therapeutic about painting.
This realization makes me think of Bob Ross.
So this child-sized antique washstand ended up getting what I think are "happy, fluffy, little clouds" in the paint and in the mirror.
As I painted and dry brushed and swirled, I could just hear his soothing voice. "Maybe in our world there lives a happy little tree over there." Can you hear him, too?
(I watched a lot of PBS as a kid)
"and that'll just be our little secret."
*all quotes from Bob Ross himself.
