30 paintings in 30 days, day 1



promise, hope, longing, renewal, beginnings

all words on this, the first day of the year, 

only hours fresh.  wishing that all of  your 

dreams, wishes and hopes come true in 2016.

thank you for your visit here at my blog.

thank you to those of you who take the time 

from your busy day to comment.  i love hearing from

each of you. although creating art can be a lonely

experience for some, i find it is a fulfilling, exciting  and timeless

place where all else drops away.  i am always changed 

when i allow myself to enter the creative space and feel 

the unity and connection will all other creatives.
