This whimsical, layered painting began (as what looked to me) like a painting full of people. As I continued working, windows and doorways began to emerge, almost as though I were creating places for all those people to belong. It became a playful collection of shapes and spaces, paintings within the painting, each with its own character and story.

I originally called it “All the Lonely People,” but as the painting evolved, the people seemed to find their place, and became “All the Lovely People.”

I almost renamed it “Old Port” after noticing a part that reminded me of a photo I took of light reflecting off a building on Union Street. The resemblance emerged unintentionally, but I couldn’t resist enhancing it! I’ve included a photo of the reflection alongside the corresponding detail in the painting.

There’s so much to discover in this one, and I hope you’ll enjoy exploring it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

A little off-topic from art, but I’m proud of this…

This actually started at the DMV last summer. 😂 I was renewing my license and the guy asked if I wanted to change the weight listed on it: 135 lbs. I was closer to 150 and thought, Nope. I’m going to make it accurate instead.

Once I got there, I decided to keep going. In January, I set a new goal: 120 lbs by September 2—and to get stronger, in pretty much every way.

I reached 120 on May 11, my 44th birthday—not a bad present to myself!

I didn’t do anything drastic. I wanted consistency and sustainability. I walked a lot, added simple strength exercises, ate more intentionally, and still enjoyed drinks & dessert. 🥂 I wanted changes I could actually live with.

I got stronger. 💪 I feel better in my body, I can do more with it, and I’m really proud of myself. 💐🎂❤️
