Beauty is not Optional



Sometimes I forget how therapeutic it is to indulge in a little art, music or nature walk. I've had quite a challenging couple of months--but when we hung this lovely new stained glass window, the thrill and spiritual high buried the grumpies without much trouble. The glass artists are a married couple that fell in love with one of my paintings and offered to do a "trade." Now that's a handy way to get original art that one could not otherwise afford. I got to participate in the design and glass choices. It was quite a treat. I wanted something that said "BOOKEND" so it could introduce our house to visitors. Isn't it perfect?
