I took this photograph on Palm Sunday (April 5, 2020) in Easton, CT.

Some thoughtful person put up this positive message sign, which said, "Hang In There." It's nice to see people doing "small" acts of kindness which have a "great (large)" positive impact on others. To whomever put this sign up: thank you.

I created a Hearts Love theme art journal page for the Month of Feb page for the weekly planner/journal that I'm using for my Book of Days. Unfortunately it printed out darker than I expected it to, so I've included the original image.

This is also my entry for the following:

Moo Mania challenge of "Love is in the Air."
Try It On Tuesday challenge of "Romance."

I created this using GIMP 2.10.8.

The final challenge at Artful Times is "Party Party (anything goes)."

I haven't been a frequent entrant for the challenge site, but I was usually a lurker for it. I'm sorry to see it go, but I understand their decision.

I was going to make a balloon themed piece, but then I noticed the second cat postcard I had created for last week's Sunday Postcard Art challenge, but which I didn't like how it was coming out. I modified it and added balloons and streamers.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.14.
