Barrington Graffiti
This is a tree in a park near the marina where I sometimes walk Emma.
Do you know why it's smiling?
Because I finally have a day off !!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully a little art making is in my near future :)
Hi dear I hope you will enjoy your day off thoroughly!!!!! I have been working all day here. Lots to do.....but I like it that now it looks better day by day :)
Cute tree. My friend wants me to get one of those "tree faces" that you hang on the tree, but I like this painted one better. Maybe I'll try that instead. Happy Day Off! I remember how wonderful those were when they were so few and far between. I guess I thought you were only working part time.
This is a place where I share my art and my heart. I hope something I create resonates with you in some positive way, whether it be my images, my words or both.
I'm always grateful for your visits and your comments.
If you have time, please browse "Find me here too!" to see more of my art and photos.
If you see an image you like, please ask before using it. All images are copyrighted and property of the artist. Thank you.
