New Year, new beginnings

2016 is here. I hope the year brings you all sorts of joy and good things. I don't typically make resolutions, but I do view the first of the year as a time of planning, new beginnings, and anticipation. Seed catalogs are arriving, which makes me anticipate the end of cold winter days and the warming of the soil with its promises of spring flowers. 

Possibly inspired by the start of the year (and seed catalogs), I recently finished a big triptych, called "Promises." You can see it at Gallery 113 in Colorado Springs. Gallery 113 is a great venue and is celebrating the start of the year by having moved to a larger location at 125-1/2 North Tejon. As a co-owner of the Gallery, I am responsible for graphic design needs, and I work in the gallery periodically. I've attached a selfie taken in the gallery, with my artwork in the background. "Promises" is the big piece at the top.

Time to go plan some paintings!
