Happy New Year!

Decided at the last minute to join Leslie Saeta's 30-in-30 challenge.   This event is quite an ordeal and requires a lot of upfront preparation.  Oh well.  Short version, studio floors were refinished last week so only the easel has been set up.  Scavenger hunt today to find everything hastily boxed up before traveling & the holidays.  Need to get the rest of the furniture moved back – desk, computer, supplies, etc. 

I’m thinking that my “theme” will be going through the Daily Paintworks Challenges to come up with ideas of things to paint – they usually have some interesting subjects and the 30-in-30 is all about doing things you’ve not tried before. Hmmmm. . . she says cleverly to herself, “how about a New Year’s resolution to try new things.”  Hard to believe my last blog was in May – that’s practically a whole year.  House sold, moved and now fixing up the new place.  Kitchen renovated - check!

Must be time to jump start 2017! Fingers crossed. 

Today's painting is of a Valentine's Day cup.  Inspired by The Cuppa Challenge.

Enjoy, life is joy we make one moment at a time. 

p.s. once I catch up, I'll get better photos and start uploads and auctions.
