Well my dear subscribers, you haven't heard from me for a while. I will continue to post (older work) sporadically until I'm fully recovered and able to paint and work on my computer more consistently. I finished this painting back in November and very pleased with it. I always learn something new with each painting.

The following quotation is from a Christmas card I received over 40 years ago. It is one of the rare ones I've held on to...

"...and so at this time I greet you.
Not quite as the world sends greetings, but with profound esteem and with the prayer that for you now and forever, the day breaks and the shadows flee away."
-Fra Giovanni

Happy New Year to you all...

I completed this painting recently. Decided I'd post it today as I continue to recover from surgery and haven't been painting for a while. This is a bit different than anything I've done before and I'm very happy with the resulting piece. It was inspired by a photograph in a gardening magazine. I painted only a small part of the original photo. It's always so exciting to expand into new vistas with my art...and this has been the year for new vistas...between the small daily paintings I've been producing and these new larger ones...can't wait to discover what else is there beneath the surface just waiting to emerge. I hope you enjoy viewing it.

Well my dear subscribers...here's the latest scoop. You might have noticed that I haven't been posting much of late. I am recovering from surgery as I type and it will be a while before I can get back into the swing of things. I am doing exceptionally well though, in very good spirits, and relieved that I'm on the other side of this crisis. I managed to have my annual studio sale 3 days before entering the hospital. It went very well and was such a blessing to connect with so many friends and patrons. I am blessed and I know it and I am in a state of profound gratitude.

I won't be posting much for a while. I do have some fairly recent paintings I haven't displayed yet and may do so once a week or so until I can be consistent with my painting and posting...so that's the story here in Saratoga.

I originally called this little painting "Celestial Angel." I'm now calling it "Xmas Angel." If it sells for Christmas that's a good thing. If not, I will change it back to Celestial Angel...artist's license being taken here...
