Oil portrait painting
work in progress

I think I’m just about finished with this one, but want to give it a little time to decide for sure. I might touch it up later on today. 

What I’ve been watching this week: 

Man Down – it’s a hilarious British comedy on Netflix. 

The Modified Guide – another funny one..I’ve been in the mood to stop taking life so seriously, and laugh more. 

Five simple rules to be happy: 

1. Free your heart from hatred. 
2. Free your mind from worries. 
3. Live simply. 
4. Give more. 
5. Expect less.

This is a list I ran across while on FB a few days ago. If I had written it, I would have added “be open minded”, and if you’re an artist, “find time to paint more”. These are all things that brighten my day. 

What makes you happy?
