Happy, Merry, congratulations, salutations...

Well my son was in NY for the Holidays with his Dad and that side of the extanded family. So I have had about 6 days all to myself. I have been focusing more on projects than the Holidays. But I did revel in as much free outings as possible. I feel like a teenager when i can go dancing or to a movie without checking in with anyone. A mini vacation for me. Tonight I am trying to finish some projects that have been hanging around the studio unfinished. The picture above is the progression that I had shown you in earlier stages. It's under some terrible lighting for pictures so you will have to imagine in clear light. I think she's pretty much done now. I might doodle a bit more but all in all nearly complete. Hopefully I can complete one more this evening and then off to see the new Clive Owen movie set in the future. (He's my boyfriend in case you where wondering.) Hope you had a wonderful break and celebration. Sport your loot and fill me in!

Um, I think Clive Owen is actually my mother's boyfriend. At least, so she says. Ha ha! I really want to see that movie, though. Salon called it something like the darkest movie you will ever want to see twice. Sounds good to me! Anyway, love that painting, Anahata. It's luscious. And happy holidays!!

Here I was thinking that Clive was MY boyfriend! Darn. Guess we should tell him that Kelly's Mom has dibs.

My boy ('Tis Himself, Mr. Joshie Pants), is spending this week with his Dad too! A whole week of doing "boy" things (which probably won't involve regular washing or brushing of teeth)...and having a big time!

I can smell it now.....

Don't tell me Clive Owen has been two-timing me!!! Honestly, I got here first, and many many years ago, when people didn't know his name. Ah well, thank Goddess I still have Naveen Andrews :-)

I love this new piece of yours. Beautiful. Inviting.
