Up coming shows: Equinox Village, Manchester, VT and The Oakroom Artists

      It's the new year, and with it comes new shows!  Sometimes I wish I had some sort of plan, I don't. I go from one thing to the next, but it's working and I have more opportunities to show my work, than I've ever had, and that's good!

The new year has come and gone, it was good, very quiet, and good.  Here are the paintings from last month, I know I usually do a "favorite 12" from the preceding year, and maybe I will.
