Portrait of my sweet daughter-in-law.

Good Morning everyone.  It's above freezing, the coffee tastes good and life is good.  I'm off to work shortly, but wanted to say hi, first.  Today I'm attaching a picture of the painting I made of my sweet daughter-in-law, as a Christmas gift for my grandson.  He might not appreciate it until he's older but that's okay.

Hope you all have a really great day.

It's a good day!

It's been a good day so far.  I've done some tweaking on my abstract set of paintings.  I've given my next abstract landscape a base coat and I've even done some housework.

Today I'm posting a picture of the portrait I did, before Christmas, of my adorable grandson, Gabriel.  I've only seen pictures of him so far because he lives in Mexico.  Someday...

Work or play, it's hard to tell.

I'm off to work at my part time job at Apple Art Works.  I feel guilty calling it work when I enjoy it so much.  I'm training a new person today.  It's such a pleasure when the person is there because they want to be out around the art and the patrons and not because it's the only job they could find.

I decided to attach a picture of a waterlily I painted a couple years ago.  It was so perfect I had to paint it close up.  Hope you enjoy.
