happy birthday


Actually, it was yesterday and it was also a holiday weekend so I'm a day late. I recently came across a beautiful, large (12" x 16"), leather-bound journal with hand-made watercolor paper pages. It was a gift from my daughter several years ago, and of course, it was empty because I couldn't imagine what I could do that was worthy of such a lovely thing. And I decided that if not now, when? It seems sort of like covering the furniture with plastic waiting for a special occasion.

So, for my birthday this year (and the plan is, for many future years) I painted a self-portrait in the beautiful book. Here's lookin' at you, babe.
