Candy corn… you either love it or hate it! So controversial haha. The kids requested I buy some this year. I used to not like it but I’ve gotta say, keeping it in a candy bowl and eating a piece or two at a time isn’t too bad! .

It’s been tough squeezing in time to paint lately. But since I was home with the kids today I made sure to carve out a sliver of naptime to myself 😁

“When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.” -Fred Rogers

We watched “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” a few weekends ago and I was crying or nearly crying through the whole movie. The world needs more people like Mr Rogers.

Khaki pants progress shot. It’s amazing how nice a picture looks taken in natural light☀️. I should do this more often. Such are the struggles of an evening painter… .
