Corners of Home

Friday: There's an almost indescribable feeling of sitting at my desk drawing or painting and then glancing across the room and having my thoughts settle, fixed and reminded of my grandfather's beautiful woodworking artistry.

I create something, bravely share and promote my vision to the best of my ability and then someone other than me has a desire to love and appreciate it enough to put it on display in their home or office (!?!).
