Happy New YEAR!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you doing? What\u2019s new? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you speeding headlong into this New Year with plans, projects and a heart full of promise? Or are you easing gently into the year with thoughts of reflection? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you\u2019re practicing stillness, which also requires a sense of commitment and courage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am all of the above, with exciting creative projects in the works, patience practice, stillness, and gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not one to make resolutions, I believe every day holds promise of beginnings and growth. \u00a0Yet this month does mark special new beginnings and a return to activities I love, while my eyes continue to heal from eye surgery. It\u2019s incredible to observe the world, with new eyes. It will be baby steps as I go, and I\u2019m pleased to share this new creative journey with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newly completed\u00a0 \u201cMoonlight\u201d Study an 8×10 in oil, is the first painting I have created without visual aid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This first piece has personal significance. The vista is the view from my parents home, with the pine trees they planted towering above the lake. I remember the evening so well, standing on the surrounding deck, drinking in the quiet\u00a0whisper of dusk.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been reading books on mystical fairies, grand forests, and science books about trees. I am fairly certain these have influenced this new painting in progress. It is a large painting I had temporarily set down sideways and discovered something new. It\u2019s exciting to be tackling this vision come to life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is the year you infuse your home with handmade vibrant, life affirming art, please let me know if I can help. I have a great stock of inventory available for purchase in several sizes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you aren\u2019t into collecting original work, or collecting right now, please still drop me a line, let me know you are, and what\u2019s new for you in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
