So I have jumped on the bandwagon of creating small square paintings. It's really fun and a great way to loosen up without the pressure of a major painting. These are the three most recent ones- they are 8 x 8" acrylics.

So here's the big excitement around our house right now- my new studio!! Not quite finished but coming along nicely. I have been painting in a tiny bedroom in our house for 20 years so this will be amazing. It will 450 square feet- all mine.

Here I am with my best buddy, Blue. He is an Australian Shepherd and goes with me just about everywhere. We are heading to San Miguel d"Allende in January and he will be coming along. We 've rented a house with good friends Rick and Diane and plan to paint like crazy while we're there. Look forward to getting away from this endless rain for a while.
