Happy New Year -- Here's to love and clarity

Happy New Year.  It's been a wonderful day.  We had a lovely
conversation over coffee with a friend who took care of our
dog while we had our New Year's Ever party last night.
Then we worked on cleaning up, read, talked and just
enjoyed the day. 

I had a short nap and woke up with such clarity about what
I wanted to do with my life and art.  In my life for 2026, I want
to be as happy as possible, and make the people I meet 
happy too. 

In art I think I want to paint my heroes.  Some of them --
I have many. 

Speaking of heroes -- the guy in the photo is the number one
hero and miracle in my life.  He is kind, honest, loving, a
great cook, a smart person in any type of work he takes on,
whether at work or around the house.  He is fun, funny, and
perhaps best of all for me, he loves me.  That is a miracle.

We have had so much fun together in our lives with each other.
We love sharing stories 
with each other  about the great
people we know, the superb places we've been, delicious food,
fantastic art shows.  We sing together in the car (me
badly), Steven very well, and we love our family, our home, and
our animals.  That is a miracle.

What I want for the New Year is more of the same -- a joyous
life, with wonderful 
friends like you, and the opportunity to paint
and draw.
  I love being in shows and selling my work, doing
commissions and studying all the other 
artists' work on Instagram, 
Facebook, and my blog.

Thank you for making this year rewarding and fulfilling.
You make me sooooo happy, and let's face it happiness is always
a miracle.

Wishing you light and love and fulfilling work in 2026.  And
I fervently wish that we figure out 
how to fix the many serious
crises in our world.

Have a joyous new day!
