A moment to think about a new year and gratitude through the eyes of Danica Phelps various gratitude drawings.
About the project from the Danica Phelps Projects website:
I started this project in the Spring of 2016 while I was listening to stories of refugees from Syria while working in the studio. I felt the plight of these people so powerfully, leaving a life of daily terror to travel hundreds and thousands of miles, carrying nothing while I am sitting in my warm studio with lip balm at my desk, by my bed and in my purse so that I have it wherever I need it. I decided that I had to do something to try to help. I used my own skills by making 41 drawings of simple things in life that I am grateful for. Clean water to drink, seeds to plant food in the garden and water that comes out of a tap to water them, the constant presence of my son, the presence in my life that I am most grateful for. These are a few of the drawings. In the October of 2017, I started posting them every couple of days on Facebook to auction them to raise money for organizations that are helping these refugees.

To start this project of my own again from a grateful place is how I would like to begin.
