Double Happiness

I couldn't tell you today whether the Mah Jongg hand "Double Happiness" inspired this composition, or did I just chuckle in recognition when I read the name of the hand...At any rate, assembling a few of my favorite things -- a garden-sized laughing Buddha, a pot of white coral bells and a glass bluebird of happiness -- was double happiness.

This morning I  started swiping paint on the trial watercolor sketch, and it's not too bad...I think I'll transfer the drawing again to good watercolor paper and make another run at it. And, rather than pick apart the composition flaws here, I think I'll just enjoy the inspiration.
