Hangover

7″ x 10″ mixed media on paper

The holiday hangover. You know the feeling. The parties are over, the gifts have been unwrapped, the cookies and egg nog have been consumed, the ball has dropped, and we recap.

2021 has been tough. It was taxing on our emotions, patience, finances, and sanity. 2021 took seven of my close friends and family members lives, and I know at least eight couples/marriages that have broken up this year. My heart aches for all those feeling lost, lonely and hurt.

On the other hand, I am grateful for my many blessings. I’m fairly healthy, my marriage is strong, I have good friends, a job that I like, I have all my basic needs, and some art supplies! 🎨😊

I hope that you too have many things to be grateful for. I hope that everyone has a safe NYE, and that 2022 brings you peace, joy, love and light! 🥳🍾🎉🎊🥰✌🕯

      As long as we can count more blessings than losses, we will always stay above! Thank you, Adan!

    Make sure you upload that design to Redbubble. That’ll compliment Orpheus nicely! And, Happy New Year, Tiff.

        I’m kinda picturing getting a few of your designs on some mugs, one at a time. But my immediate goal is a purse, something for my coins. My existing one shrunk beyond all recognition went it got left in my trouser pocket and washed by mistake!

            Bought a couple of musg in the end. Impetuous! You coulda come up with a better name than Hangover, though. I thougght it was quite attractive.
