Primary Path of Happiness Series

Primary Path of Happiness series (12x12)

This abstract series contains the only pieces not based on a landscape photo; but was born from my history of doodling as a child, teen and young adult.  The directions go almost everywhere, starting and continuing in various areas of the canvases, which may be comparable to hiking a trail, or navigating a series of roads to a destination. 

 As a teenager, I was able to provide some form of lighthearted comfort to my circle of friends by conjuring doodles of my happy face creature through various scenarios.  I learned that happiness isn’t always what you picture it to be, though if you can find it in simple things, hold on to it and bring it with you in the twists, turns and long roads of life.
