Peace & Happiness - Michelle Burnett

Peace & Happiness
oil on gessoed paper

"Peace" is the theme of Camille Olsen's sketchbook so I went with more of the retro idea of peace because I think she's a pretty hip chick! :) This was also my favorite childhood mug that has always offered a little bit of comfort: chicken soup when I was sick or for milk with cookies after school. This Flying Moleskin is now on its return trip home back to Camille!

    Hahaha, my previous comment just got lost again, argh! Michelle, this is really fun and uplifting and believe me, there will be many times I will look at this and just have to smile no matter what is going wrong! Like right now, I can hear my daughter cussing because the pans in the cabinet were a boobietrap and it's my fault. But I'm smiling, because I have this cool painting that tells me everything is copacetic. Yay! Seriously though, I think flowers are really difficult and that's why you don't see me painting them. Yours are very well done and I like the way you varied the turn of the different petals. Verrrry nice and I thank you SO much for sharing your special cup with me! XO

    Anyone who sees this delightful painting, and doesn't break into a big smile, needs his sense of humor recharged. super piece.
