My Happiness Day Project Day 9: Painting

I was delighted to steal three whole hours to paint today. It was the perfect day to do it, too - the weather was beautiful, so I was able to open a window in my studio, crank up the tunes and get busy.

All three hours were dedicated to this painting - "Churning". It's getting closer, but there is still so much work to do!

I know painting seems like a no-brainer thing to make me happy, but... well ask any painter and I'm sure we'll all say that painting doesn't always make us happy. It can be frustrating, hard work. But, it also makes me happy. Even when I'm down to the painstaking details stage like I am with this one.
