It has been my intention to finish six 3'x4' paintings this year.  Each one has taken at least three weeks working two to three hours per day.  So far, I have completed almost five and am on target.  Ideally, I would have done these by now in order to make my first launch during this season of high sales just before Christmas.  This would have been too stressful for me given the time frame.  Other issues that I have considered include building an email list which I am admittedly shy about doing.  Another is getting into the art challenges to improve.  Meantime, I am hoping to get into the video postings of my art.  Stay tuned for what may come.  

Our Thanksgiving repast this year was not too much different than our usual meals, simple and nourishing.  It was healthier for us in that respect.  But, the camaraderie of family and friends was sorely missing in this COVID world.  Yes, we had a Zoom meeting with our kids and their families.  Not nearly as satisfying.  We look forward to when we can travel without risk.

It would also be nice to once more be in a gallery without prudent limitations.  But here I am in my hilltop studio making due with this new world.  "Just let me paint," I say.  That is my inclination.  Reality creeps in.  As soon as I have completed and successfully photographed my new paintings, look for my launch.  Included will be the large paintings great for a large space along with smaller studies that could fit in a spot.
