Nice way to end the year!

What a surprise this morning when I received a message from Red Bubble to let me know that my watercolor, Peony and Friends had just been featured in the group Painters Universe as Best in Show for Dec 30th  2010.

I hope to post an update of my current floral later on today....

May 2011 be full of joy and health for all of you and your family.

  2. Hi Christiane. Hope you had a great Christmas and looking forward to a year filled with new paintings and adventure. Sorry to hear retirement is busier than expected. I had the same experience when i left work. Somehow the hours and days slip by with little in the way of personal accomplishment. It does get better though. I think perhaps in the beginning we feel we have all this extra time and don't say no very well. Smile! I love your painting too and congratulate you on your award and your great, great desire to just paint. Blessings always. ross
