Merry Christmas!

It has been 2 months. There have been some changes.
Our art show in November was a very nice, family oriented event. It was great to see the kids looking at all the different art on display and being created before their eyes. The art was beautiful, the artists are all impressive people. We only didn't have enough art enthusiasts there and consequently very few sales.
I decided to step down from hanging the art on display in the Martial Arts Studio, the wall space is going to be needed for
a new kickboxing program.


Our kitty Music left us, she spent her last week with us being constantly with her and we all miss her. It seems her death brought us all closer to each other.
The day before the Italian group (I had worked for in Dec. for 3 years) arrived and I found out I had been replaced. Robert had taken the week off to help me, he was very supportive and we had some good talks and a wonderful date together. In spite of it all I was able to have some time with my Italian friends, Marina and Jonathan.
As you understand there was little time to paint, just enough for some small pieces:
three Rockart inspired paintings and a sunset.
Shaman by the Sea is a departure from my usual way of painting, I used the Rockart and some stones with line patterns for reference, but the sea is just as it came from my imagination. It is kind of scary to just paint and not judge what comes out.
The little icon was the first one I tried to do in one hour to train for the slapdown (at the art show). It was obvious that I needed more time. It is here to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
