Art is everywhere -- my son's collection

Fact of life -- artists' families own a lot of the artist's
art.  In this house it's hard to turn around without
seeing my work -- sometimes stacked in boxes, leaning
against walls, on top of cabinets, three deep, and
of course hanging everywhere.  But it's always nice
to encounter work I hardly remember when I
visit someone else's place, and there it is.

This painting  that's just inside my son
Christopher's front door caught my eye the
other day.  It's a view of our street, Cherrywood
Avenue that I've painted many times -- the feeling
 changing in every one.  Maybe I'll do a blog showing
a collection of them coming up. Meanwhile, yes there
 is more to come in the 'what have I been up to?' file.
 I hope you've had a great holiday time.  We've had
a lot of snow since the day after Christmas. I had to say
 goodbye to the valiant pink geranium in a pot on the
back porch.   It still had blooms on December 25.
That was a long, long season.

Have an enjoying-the-start-of-the-year day.
