Share the Joy": Sunshine on my shoulders. ..



It's a bright, sunny day in the Pacific Northwest
so it's pretty easy to feel the joy.

But I've also been priming the pump
by making art.
I create some images just for contests, 
like this one. 
The assignment was to use at least three prescribed items
to create a new image.


It's kind of fun to put yourself to the test
and see what you can create within the contest parameters.

Some images I create are just for the pure joy of it.


"Lovers Loved" created 7-9-14 on Polyvore.com by MeriMagic (Meri Arnett-Kremian)
I'm planning to print it on either a 24x24 or 30x30 canvas.
(It's not as if I'm lacking for art to hang on the walls,
but this piece makes me smile.)

How are you cultivating joy? 

Celebrate it.
Share it.

 


1. do a post that tells and shows what gives you joy.
  2. capture the URL of the specific post and paste it into 
the Mr. Linky box along with your info.

3. Visit other players and let their joy infect you.
Leave them a comment because everyone
 enJOYS getting positive feedback.

Let's keep the epidemic of JOY going!

Sepia Saturday: The Nez Perce

Image
My grandfather, whose childhood years were spent in Wallowa County, Oregon, recalled that when he was a child, he used to see members of the Nez Percé tribe in the area, their summer hunting grounds. You may or may not know that the Nez Percé   had been granted reservation lands in 1855  by the Washington Territory's  territorial governor, Isaac Stevens.  The land reserved for the tribe encompassed  their traditional hunting lands,  including the Wallowa Valley.  But as settlement by whites continued and gold was found,  the incentive to honor that treaty diminished. The Nez Percé were offered a much smaller reservation centered around Lapwai, Idaho with schools,  a hospital and financial rewards.  In exchange, they had to cede their hunting lands.  Some of the tribal chiefs agreed,  but Chief Joseph (1840 - 1904) refused.  Unable come to an agreement with the U.S. government,  the non-treaty bands were threatened with forcible removal  if they did not voluntarily reloca
