M&M's and soft pastels...


One of the secrets of a happy life is
continuous small treats.
- Iris Murdoch



I'm a fucking champion of small treats... :-)
This is about as "valentine-ey" as it gets in our house.

M & M's and peanut butter hearts. 


I felt like getting my hands dirty tonight




so it was soft pastel time



It's a little harder for me to do abstract with soft pastels...


look! i even found a heart! 
(you can see it in the photo above, top left hand corner)


flipping it over and adding some black...


It always feels good to get our hands dirty sometimes,
doesn't it?


A few of my small treats:
chocolate
little bits of art wherever i can squeeze it in
bubble baths
books
wine
a good pen and paper
morning walks
good coffee
being barefoot
hugs from my son
smiles
a haircut
rain
new underwear (or no underwear - giggle...)
and good music.

love to all of you...

  2. It really is the little things in life that make you smile. For me, I'd have to add foot soaks, little giggles, fuzzy socks, long purrs. Btw...Love your cheerful art!

  6. My best treats to myself are chocolate everyday, coffee, and some journal time. I like your abstract, pastel process, thank you for sharing the steps. Happy weekend! Kath

  9. You are one funny lady (in the nicest possible way of course).

    Small treats?
    A thank you or a smile - from anybody, I'm not proud :)
    A hug from friend.
    Cheese (I shouldn't eat it, but what the hell)
    The mystery chocolate valentine heart on my desk (ok, so I know who it's from really, but I can dream)
