Happy Third Blogiversary

Today marks the third year Word Painting has existed. Over the past three years I have posted exactly 9000 posts. This one being number 9000. I have tens of thousands of followers, have met several people via correspondence on Tumblr, and have enjoyed everything all of you have had to say and/or post. It has been a real trip to have this blog. Thank you all for making my Tumblr experience a good one! Here’s to another three plus years. Cheers!
