It’s always nice to have a fresh start, and that’s what the new year feels like to me. I’m taking down the Christmas stuff today and cleaning up.

Soon I’ll start working on my end of the year bookwork… yuck!

I’ll also be starting drawings for new paintings for my show in the Bay Area

And… filling my schedule with more classes

I’ll have a new painting for you to see within a couple of days.  In the meantime, here’s  some photos from my Christmas in Jackson, CA

Some of these photos were taken by my sister, Sue Bentley, and a couple were taken by me. Hope your holidays were happy ones, and that you’re getting ready for a fresh new year.

I just wandered over to Winsor & Newton’s website and found a wealth of information about their watercolours, which I have been using and loving for years.  Here’s the site link:  http://www.winsornewton.com/resource-centre

So, now when you have questions about the various colors available and properties as well as chemical make-up of types of color you will know how to get wonderful info quickly and easily.  Enjoy!
