An escape from the bouts of seriousness and isolation that punctuate adult life, this new and different headspace is reflected in Watson\u2019s most-recent work, which is playful, spontaneous, and imbued with delight.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn a time where it\u2019s hard to know what\u2019s right and everything is so complex, I was drawn to the simplicity around Joy &#8230; Sometimes life happens and we forget what it feels like to be free.&#8221; ~ Janna Watson<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Ahhh,<\/em> so true! ps. the red painting above is titled <em>&#8220;Fly Horsie!&#8221;<\/em>&#8230; for obvious reasons!
