Art Every Day- Day 24

Happy Thanksgiving!  I've heard versions of this quote all week: "Happiness does not create Gratitude; rather Gratitude creates Happiness."  Seems to be true.

Today's top 5 things I'm grateful for:

- a beautiful family
- a belly full of delicious foods, most of which was cooked by beautiful husband
- amazing technology that allows us to connect and share incredible things
- all of my teachers who have ever taught me anything
- time and inspiration to paint this little guy:

It's a ruby-throated hummingbird. We used to get dozens of them at our feeders, but I haven't seen any at this new house. I miss those little guys. Guess I'll have to be grateful for the mockingbirds.
