Hello all!

It’s been a bit! I’d like to say I have been very very busy but the reality is that I got caught up doomscrolling all forms of social media. It’s amazing how much that steals the time and for me it makes me feel less creative, tires out my brain and my eyes! My New Year’s resolution is to get rid of most of those apps. I do like Instagram which my link is in the side menu. And I also like the new Post News, I’ve had a lot of positive feedback there. As always I’m on WetCanvas.com despite the changes, I still like the forums. I don’t know how much longer it will remain open but I think it’s still one of the best sites. Painting Friends is a nice forum for the most traditional sort of artists. It’s a gentle place as well if you’re looking for a good place to land that’s not Twitter or a site similar to that.

I think I’ll round out the year with a bit of this and a bit of that as I haven’t been keeping up.

Here’s some rocks I painted. I’m going to place them on some of the walking trails in the area for people to find and take if they wish to.

Here’s a small selections of crochet that I’ve made. These are all my own patterns and I will try to get them all published.

Here’s an Acrylic of Tallie.

This is from a challenge on WetCanvas (we do monthly ones in the acrylic forums). The challenge was to only use palette knives and a limited palette to boot. This was all done with knives and is 16 x 20. Bit of a mess but lots of fun.

I hope the holiday, whatever you celebrate find you well and I hope the New Year brings you good health, good company and lots of creativity. Take care.
