Busy morning – off to do some New Year celebration luncheoning today! But the paints were out and beckoning for a two-minute sketch.
Happy 2020 to you!
A Non-Blobbish Resolution
The first day of 2020 and we all think about what we want to do, or not want to do. Yours truly is in the category of the “want to do” crowd. I want to do everything I like doing, but the resolution is
Find the time to do what I want to do!
How’s that for something unique? Yeah, right. But all joking aside, I followed the suggestions of a few people to “just let things happen” and I found it left me floundering around, indecisive, and just waiting for things to happen. 
If I wait for things to happen, I sit there, blob-like. Such an attractive way to spend my time. So, to thwart this blobbishness, I plan to
Schedule!
I think it will make for a happier 2020 as far as general living . . . more productivity and creativity and sense of satisfaction and so on and so on and so on.
No blobs in 2020, thank you!

Beds are so symbolic.
Wake up!
Go to sleep!
Dreamland. A place to retreat. A place to renew. Love.
For some reason, I thought this would be a good photo with which to start the new year.
Fiat Lux
As we close the lights on the last year, the last decade, let us hope that there is light to be had in an increasingly worrisome world.
Happy 2020!
In the Cold, In the North
The end of 2019 is here, the Christmas season is winding down, and 2020 approaches. I have not done much painting in weeks except for a gouache for my SIL as a present . . . I thought a simple watercolor would be a good place to begin a return to painting.
Interestingly, when I have not painted for awhile, I don’t get caught up in the same issues I do when I paint a lot. Why is this? I think it is because I am doing it for the simple pleasure of a watercolor – not to accomplish a goal or something. Hopefully this element of innocence can be called upon for future works.
Have a wonderful New Year 2020 everyone!
