Happy New Year to all my friends and followers! Your support and encouragement is invaluable and keeps me going.

Last September, with my friends Bobbi and Suzanne, I took a wonderful oil painting workshop with Carolyn Walton in Normandy. We stayed in a wonderful place called La Laiterie on the outskirts of Pont l'Eveque in the heart of the Pays d'Auge. The weather was typically Norman, alternating between rain and sunshine. It was a chance for me to learn how to paint lots of clouds and practice all these amazing greens!

Our Normand paintings will be on exhibit at the Yarmouth Gallery in Yarmouth, Maine in February. More information on the show later.
