These horses appeared on the surface as I knifed the board in colors that brought me joy... and then I added more green, because all the leaves were coming out on the trees!  This painting is joyful... how about you?

But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. " Philippians 3: 13-14  Where is your joy?   There are things you can do to get your joy and your confidence back.  Life has never come with a promise of happiness.
