At the top of my lists of goals for 2010 is to become a "better blogger".  I am an artist not a writer and if you look too closely at my grammar that will be evident. (smile)   Several of you have asked about new paintings and I realize that I haven't posted any of those recently either.  I spent the weeks before Christmas working on a large painting for my son for Christmas.  I have been having some health problems as of late and because of this an artist friend offered to help me on the painting.  The painting is a 3' x 4' acrylic and we completed it days before Christmas.  My son was completely surprised and loves his new painting.
