Happiness

     Today I am at work in my studio.  I have been thinking, meditating, on the word HAPPINESS.  The word seems to pop up everywhere I look; magazines, books, calendars, artwork.  Happy has always been a favorite word of mine.  To say the word "happy" just makes me happy!  Happy, happy, happy!  
     I read a book the other day, Happiness Is a Choice.  I wanted to create something that has to do with happiness.  So I just thought of painting the word.  It seems to say it all!


"Just do what must be done.  This may not be happiness, but it is greatness"  -George Bernard

"Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy"  -Greta Brooker Palmer

"If you want happiness for an hour- take a nap.  If you want happiness for a day- go fishing.  If you want happiness for a month- get married.  If you want happiness for a year-  inherit a fortune.  If you want happiness for a lifetime- help someone else."  -Chinese proverb
