Well, its been mostly working on new ideas and projects, reading, writing, doing some research on next painting project.

Don’t think (but maybe I did) I mentioned it but when I had my asthma flareup in the Fall of 2017, lungs were so bad that I couldn’t paint and being a “not able to sit still” kinda person I started to write a book. Well, been working on that off and on since that time and … almost done. Hoping to finish it up before the end of January. Time for wrap and finish on the story. Then the reread, checking for inconsistencies and making sure it all makes sense, and then starting the submission process.

And what is this book about you may ask. Well, this particular book is a pre-teen sci fi story and I’ll leave it at that. But in the meantime, also started a growing older story, an original cookbook, and another about, well in time I’ll be willing to share.

Also, working on a storyboard for my new painting series- about life. Two paintings in and have found, it’s tough to stay in sequence when you think about life in irregular context. Come on spring, tough to paint without being able to open the windows. I really need to put in an exhaust fan.

Again, you only live once and if you work it right- that’s enough. Thanks for the thought Richard. It stays with me daily and this is the last time I will attribute it to you. It has become my person mantra. These first 24 days of my new 365 days have been good.
