What a strange year this has been. It has been dominated by a a psychotic work work situation, leaving me with little time to do what I want. I’ve come to a grudging acceptance that life is moving swiftly downhill and that nothing is truly permanent, as I’ve had to say goodbye to too many wonderful people.

I’m getting my act together to develop a plan for 2025, to make the most of whatever time I have and to stop desiring more stuff!! If I can make do with less “stuff,” then I probably wouldn’t need to work at all right now.

I am just sharing now a few of the pictures I did last year that I am happy with.

I have tried this little guy a few times, but this time (and if truth be told, he was at the end of 23 not 24) I like him because I’d been trying to move away from being so picky and tight, and this is all cauliflowers and scribble, and I liked how it ended up.

I waver between graphite and watercolour, however, I do like mixed media, although then feel that I have tainted a pure watercolour at that moment. Silly eh?

Back in a day or two, with more –
