Happy 2023

Happy New YearπŸ’ƒπŸ½πŸ’ƒπŸ½, I hope 2023 will be better for all! I wanted to paint a New Year greeting from me and my gals. But I was struggling with what I could paint as I was unsure of my skillπŸ™„πŸ€¨πŸ€”. Finally, I decided to paint fireworks with us watching it😊.

 

To create those fireworks, I used masking fluid to retain the white colour of the paper. Masking fluid is tricky to use, and I have never been good at it😀😒. Nevertheless, I think it turned out better, not perfect. Last year, for my New Year greeting, I painted Zara and Mika watching the fireworks. This year, I was brave enough to include all of us, including Yumi, the new puppy I got after Mika passed on.

 

Life in 2022 was a real challenge. Losing Mika was my biggest challenge. Now that I have Yumi, she has been so different from Zara and Mika in obedience trainingπŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸΆ. But I know, just like the beauty we see in fireworks, I am aware that for every firework we see, many don’t light up the skyπŸ˜†. We are only mindful of successes, not the failures that resulted in one win 😎😎.

 

Last year, my most significant gift was making some meaningful friendships. To them, I say, Thank youπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™. You kept my sanity. I want to thank everyone for encouraging me in my painting journey, as many commented that I had made progressπŸ’ƒπŸ½πŸ’ƒπŸ½πŸ’ƒπŸ½.

 

One of my friends thought that I was watching the firework display with my gals. The truth is that dogs never like fireworks, which are often associated with loud soundsπŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸΆ. So, my depiction of the New Year is inaccurateπŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ. However, it is my dream, and if we have life in us, we never stop dreaming🀩🀩. On that note, I wish everyone a Happy New Year and thank everyone who contributed to this websiteπŸ™πŸ™πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜Š.
