Pennies From Heaven

Just finished having some lunch and feeling a bit hungover from last night. About to get some shut-eyes before I do a little painting. I didn't paint yesterday so I have to take a few steps forward on the Jerome Caja inspired pieces.

As I was walking to the park this morning, I found my penny for the day. Over the years, I have collected piggy banks and have filled them with pennies, mostly those I have picked off the streets. Picking up pennies is not always easy especially if people are around as I start to feel self conscious about doing so. 'What will they think of me?' I wonder. But I made it a commitment to pick them up regardless. Picking up pennies reminds me of the amazing abundance already in my life. I have been blessed with so much of everything, the list is endless.

I feel blessed for the abundance of creativity that allows me to continue painting my Little Girls. For the past 12 years of working on the series, there has never been a lack of inspiration. It's been a beautiful journey being an artist. I am fortunate to see life a little differently as my imagination is always at work. And so I will continue to pick up my pennies knowing that abundance is always present in my life.

The piece to the left is titled Mama Poses in the Living Room. It is inspired from a black and white photo of Mama posing in the living room.I picked this piece today as I have been blessed with a mother who has blessed me with an abundance of love, support, and inspiration.


May abundance flow through your life today, tomorrow, and always. Cheers!
