New Year - New Directions

2014 is here and I'm looking forward to a wonderful year full of traveling, family, friends and new art.  2013 was a mixed bag for me - a circle of life type of year.  My father died on February 4, and the same day the wonderful town of Anacortes put on a parade for our 7 year old granddaughter Madelyn to celebrate the end of chemo and no more Leukemia!


This year promises great things for Madelyn with new health and energy.  And Jim and I will now have the freedom to come and go as we want with few responsibilities.  We are planning some wonderful trips that I hope will inspire me in some new directions in my art.  I've been learning some new and different techniques and plan to try adding more collage, glazes, stamping and colors to my work.  I hope to experiment with some different color palettes than I have used in the past.  Plus Jim gave me a set of pastels for Christmas that I'm itching to try out.


So, stay tuned!  Hopefully there will be some really new things to check out soon!
