Here I am with my fellow arteest- grand-daughter Karma. Guess who got the big easel?

Here's the studio before and during the big Christmas dinner. We ended up with 16 people so it was busy. The weather co-operated so the walk from the house to the studio was dry. It was a real gift to see all the family gathered and enjoying each other. We had 4 generations represented, from our dad at 86 to my great nephew David, age 4.

This is just a quick note to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a joyful New Year. My energy is going towards the big family dinner that we are hosting this year- 15 people all together. I am attempting to transform my studio into a beautiful dining hall. Might have bitten off too much but I want it to be special. Once I'm finished, I'll post it on the blog.

Earlier this week I taught a 3 days basic acrylics class in Coquitlam. Here's a picture of my wonderful ladies and also some of the paintings created. For a basic class, I supply the images and teach via a step by step approach. Thanks to everyone for making it such a fun three days.
