2025 is already coming alive -- so exciting

of the paintings that I'm proud of from
2024)

Many of us are dreading the international stories that will come through
in the new year.  This week I'm taking a break from sharing the news.
Next week I'll be back doing that.  I read in an old Facebook post
advice from me to me -- if you want to tell someone something,
do it today.  So I'm putting up some of my favourite paintings from
2024, and want to thank everyone who helped me.  In this case, the
wonderful parents of Malia who shared so many beautiful photos
of their daughter when she was a little girl. She's now 14,
and a very beautiful teenager. And of course the wonderful
printer, Chris at St. Clair Printing, who helped me with reference photos.

In 2025 I'm having a solo show in April at the Heliconian Club.
I hope to find out the opening days, and more details in the next
week or so.  And my brain is filled with images I'd like to
create.  I do have a house packed with paintings that can go
into the show too. So that's exciting.  

My friends in Paris can't wait for us to return.  So... who knows?
I have an overwhelming feeling that everything will work out.
Let's stick with that. 

In the meantime.  Happy last days of 2024.  It was a momentous year.

Have a loving your life day.
