2016 has been a good year with work sold for SARA Sanctuary, a successful art show at home and new commissions, as well as some work sold in Waring. My "Water 2" watercolor made it into the Syracuse Cultural Workers' Datebook for 2017. (I have one more datebook left for $12.50. Let me know if you want it.)

| Juan and Son, oil on canvas, 16x20" |

| Cindy'sFamily, oil on canvas 12x16" |
Juan and Son and Cindy's Family were my end of year commissions in oil. I learned from them and found them interesting and rewarding. In Juan and Son the lighting was tricky and in Cindy's Family the smaller size canvas made the faces difficult.

| Brother and Sister, graphite, 11x14" |
In my new series of people I meet, this sister and her brother came to the gallery when I was working. Belle I saw in the garden of the McNay Museum.
Brother and Sister and Belle brought their own challenges which I enjoyed. Belle came into the world while I couldn't stop listening to "Belle" from Notre Dame de Paris.
My first commission in the new year is the portrait of a mustang called Sham.

My art exhibit in Viva Vegeria started Dec 1st and will go till the end of Feb 2017. The reception will be on Friday Jan 27th and will coincide with a documentary about Frida Kahlo. I am looking forward to it and hope to see some of you there. (10% of all sales will go to SARA Sanctuary.)
