Happy

If you’ve been here since I started this art journey about 2 months ago, you’ll know a bit about the artist of this piece already.
This painting was done by my namesake, Delta. She signed it “Del” to look like a man’s name, knowing that doing so would garner her artwork more respect.

In the small town of Torekov, Sweden there is a community ritual of going to the local pier (“Morgonbryggan”) to take a morning dip in the sea. Does that sound too chilly or perfectly refreshing to you?

(Check out Peggy Anderson’s photo art series that brought attention to the fun bathrobes and social rituals involved in this unique morning routine.)

Gardens of renewal grow when “Love” and “Earth” meet. 🌱

Happy ! Today is a beloved holiday in Sweden and other parts of Scandinavia. St. Lucia's Day is a celebration of light in the long, dark winters. As with most legends, the story has many versions. Generally they come back to St. Lucia wearing a crown of candles to light the way as she brought food to those in hiding.
What are some ways someone has brought you light this winter?

Happy !

“A Dalecarlian horse or Dala horse … is a traditional carved, painted wooden statue of a horse originating in the Swedish province of Dalarna (Dalecarlia).” - Wikipedia
These Dala doodles were inspired by visits to the American Swedish Institute

I have only been on Mastodon for a short time, but I have already enjoyed it better than any other social media.
I feel like “mudita” (delighting in other people's well-being) is more natural here.
A big Mastodon-sized thank you to everyone who has created that safe and supportive community. I hope I can contribute the same.

I’ve only been on for a little while, but so far I get the feeling that this is a healthier social media space where mudita happens a little more naturally. I’m looking forward to using this space to refine and grow as well as support others. Huge mastodon-sized thank you to everyone who has already shown that community vibe. 😊 (reposted to fix pic description)

Ugly because of incoherent patterns? Or beautiful because the strands are from a children’s hospital project? 🏥
Ugly because of frays? Beautiful because the frays weave a healthier earth by using “garbage” ? 🌎
Ugly because of social standards? Beautiful because it’s value in northern winter? 🥶
Ugly because of labels? Or beautiful because it labels you LOVED ALWAYS? ❤️
If you think something is ugly, get to know it.

Feeling the Hygge vibes on this snowy morning.

Hygge is: “a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture).” (Oxford)

Some elements of Hygge are:
1. light
2. warmth
3. company
4. nature
5. pleasure
6. gratitude

What is Hygge to you?

Surely we’re not the first to have noticed this. Ever since one of the little ones pointed the reindeer out, I can’t unsee it. What other things have you uncovered in the shapes of countries? 🇮🇸

(Reposting to add pic description) Today I’m grateful for the little things, like jumping in puddles and the way this doodle inspired the littles to hop around the room like happy sheep ❤️ The little moments matter. What is something little that you are grateful for? 👇 @sigurros (digital Art: HopiSheep)

Does anything else matter if you’re not sharing your spark with the next generation? It’s the little everyday things ❤️

Switching it up with some mixed media acrylic + digital. This pup has been so good for our family, barks and all. She helped teach the littlest to walk, she assures the eldest our home is monster free and she enjoys a good game of hind-and-seek. Do you have a pet? What are some fun details of the day-to-day joys with your pet?👇
