I am Alive

Just a quick note to all those who follow me:  I am alive and working really hard.  I do have quite a large number of painting pics to post but am just too busy to do so until after the end of the year.  Hope you all are enjoying this holiday season.  I'm still looking forward to some down time, but it's not going to happen until nearly the end of the year when things finally slow down for me.  But painting is going well (yay!!!!!!), I'm getting a lot, lot more time into painting now that I have my new studio -- with no interruptions - it's a law!
