Top 10 of 2014


Happy New Year.  I've closed the door on 2014 and am looking forward to a new year full of challenges and opportunities.   Health, happiness and creativity is all I wish for you.  I know for some it can be difficult to find even one of these and especially all three together at times, but we can still wish for them, can't we? Your support as friends, some of who I have never met except virtually, is an important link in achieving the three wishes.  The community of artists and creatives and the network of ideas and support shores up the difficult times and celebrates the successes for each other.  We are never in this alone.

At the end of the year I like to reflect on the paintings that I have created and post my personal favourites.  At the time of painting, each one becomes my favourite, but of course, some resonate with me more than others.  Unfortunately I can't share the paintings I am producing of the wooden boat series, but I have created paintings outside that series during the year and will choose from those.

I'd love to know if my choices mirror any of your favorites.  These are listed in no particular order of favour.  Note the aquatic theme as usual with the odd one out being the portrait of my grand daughter.  I have always enjoyed creating portraits - both the challenge and pleasure of the human form and the unfinished piece captures the movement of a small child.
