Happy New Year

Yes I am a week late but I have a good reason again this year [last year car accident]

I have the flu, I guess like so many other people. I love how the Ontario Board of Health is setting up clinics for flu shots but guess what, I got mine in November so clearly maybe this years version of the shot is missing the flu that is going around. Anyhow I am getting frustrated not doing much of anything but I don't want it to come back so I am resting.

I did get my sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project so I am looking forward to creating when the stupid flu is gone. I have an unnatural fondness for blank books and have quite a collection. I am trying very hard to use them. More about that here. I have started several books on the theory that once I start using them I will stop looking at them and being afraid to mess them up. So far it is working but it is baby steps.

Anyhow here is my new sketchbook. It is a fun project with artists from around the world and your book goes on Tour. The Sketchbook Project

The Dragon

 Happy year of the Dragon.

This is my painting ... this year is a water dragon ... a gift for my dragon.

....I found it a real challenge because what does a dragon look like? 


I think this is a happy one and ready for a good year!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year
I know I am a little late but this year had a rough start for me. 

All is well now....my car isn't....happens when someone decides to turn left on a red, right in front of you as your traveling through an intersection. Very grateful that no one was hurt....glasses were a bit smushed but now repaired.  Six people involved, no injuries except for the cars so it was a good day. Looking for a new vehicle!


I haven't felt much like creating but am very excited about two shows that I am participating in this month.... Details here

Stay tuned, I have a story about Canada Post and their artistic side...............

Happy New Year

 2011 Ensō .....one moment

Hard to believe it is the end of the first decade of the 21st Century. Remember all the Y2K panic!
Have a happy and safe New Year's Eve and a wonderful 2011.
Looking forward to lots of painting.
