Each item on the windowsill behind my kitchen sink has a story, and collectively speaks about who I am. Homegrown lemons, plants, and a holiday light gift from a dear friend. These items make me smile every time I'm at the sink, getting coffee, looking out onto the forested land, rinsing out a mug. Just felt right to capture this scene that makes me smile in paint.
