   I want to wish each and every one of you a happy, healthy and creative new year.  For the past 12 years, I have always been extremely grateful to be granted the gift of another bright and shining new year.   On New Year's Day, all things seem possible. I didn't make any resolutions  except to make more time for family and friends.  Sometimes, it seems I'm in the studio every spare minute  seven days a week.  Over the holidays, I realized just how much I have been missing and I will try to change, honest.

  I spent the morning getting my website updated so that all of last year's work is there.  Most of the new works are small but I am incredibly proud of the fact that I am developing a cohesive body of paintings in a style unique to me.  It's wonderful to be going in to a year with a direction laid out that I will follow until the time comes to explore other avenues of art.  The little 5 x 7 "Small Works" have been just wonderful to do and have been so well received.  For so long, whenever I did anything creative, so many people were critical that it made it difficult to go forward.  I've probably just surrounded myself with more supportive people but it's good and I am looking forward to participating in as many viable shows as I can in 2015.

   I'll still be in the studio Tuesdays through Fridays when I'm not painting outside.  Please feel free to pop in for a coffee and a look around the mess.  If you call first, I'll wash my hands and have the coffee on.
