First of The Year!


In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang are opposite forces that form a whole. Everything contains both yin and yang in a balance that is always changing.

The painting on the right, Trees at Dusk 1, was one of two canvases that I painted a while back. Ever since Trees at Dusk 2 sold this painting has seemed unbalanced. I ended my 2010 and started off 2011 in the studio working on a new partner for the painting.

Here's to a balanced life in 2011! Happy New Year!

    It feels very real, like I am standing there looking up at the tree in reverence.

  5. I couldn't have imagined a better day: petits fours from Bon Ton, flowers and tea in the studio with artist friends, dinner with family at Les Faux Bourgeois and a cake made by my daughter, lots of emails, cards, wonderful lavendar lotion from Mrs HB along with her very kind words and all of your lovely comments and good wishes. A heartfelt thanks from une femme d'un certain âge!
