So much fun making art, and listening to holiday songs with 
the family.  

This is another piece I sold yesterday at the Off The Wall Show
at the Heliconian Hall.  Here's what I wrote about the drawing 
in a former post:

"I don't know what happened to Carolanne McFarlane.  I can
only hope her life has been great.  I did this portrait from a very

moody photo my father took of her.  I don't know how
he even got the shot, because Carolanne was very sunny.

But when we moved away to Toronto I lost touch with
my former neighbours, who were so much fun.

I realized working on this drawing how much my father
loved light.  He loved to make his photos as dramatic as
possible -- and yet they were about everyday subjects --
our neighbours, the scenes we lived with every day, my
mother in the house or the garden.

What I love about the photos that he printed in his
basement darkroom is that the people are very
much alive, even though he only printed in black
and white."

I'm so glad that work sold.  I really liked it.

Have a loving your life day!
