Lisa by the Meadow

For the last month or so, I’ve been spending all my free time painting this picture of my teddy bear Lisa posing by the meadow garden. The whole process was so much fun! For two or three hours every day after work (and longer on weekends), I’d sit at my easel and paint flower after flower. With my brush, I’d travel to Toyland, a magical, happy place, kind of like Disney World but without the crowds. Toyland is the most wonderful, peaceful vacation spot—and it’s very affordable. I can’t wait to start my next painting so I can go there again.

Here are a couple more paintings I finished this year:
