| FUN in the snow |
 |
| All the family dogs had a good Christmas, too |
 |
| Sketch I am getting ready for one of my sister's birthday - Denise, the Boxer lover Her birthday is Dec. 30. |
 |
| First washes of a new painting I have started - tug boats on the foggy B.C. coast. Started with some cobalt blue, and w/w washes of grey. |
 |
| After several more washes, I finally have the mask off, and have started the tugs. Well, it's been a month of changes - all good. My winter/pre-Christmas gloom lifted around mid-December. I swear I notice the days getting longer already, and I am noticing buds opening!!! I decided to leave the cooperative gallery. I had initially thought to give the enterprise six months, till Christmas. Time came up, and I was not happy there [for several reasons]. It must be the right decision for me because I feel great! I entered three paintings in one of the Federation of Canadian Artists juried shows, and all three were accepted. And I had a wonderful Christmas Day with my family. It is teeming rain today - back to normal Vancouver winter weather, and even that is welcome. I'll pack up Twilight [the dog I am sitting for a friend] and head into Vancouver to pick up my things from the gallery, and do some family visiting. Thank you for dropping by! |
