Wow! You've been wild with the brushstrokes and the energy in this fantastic painting.

See how skilled and talented you are?! You can paint with exacting and careful rendering, AND paint with lots of color and lively expression in both styles.

Merry Christmas and many blessings for you and yours!

This is lovely, Silvina. I'm envious of your warm weather! All our grass is under snow right now.

A very Merry Christmas to you and Edgar!

Karen, thank you. This little patch was backlit in the early morning light. Really grabbed my attention.

Karen, hey good to hear from you! I got the impression that you deleted your blog a couple of months ago. Glad to see it's back. Thanks for the kind word.
