Okay ..... before I sign off one more time .... I was cleaning up my studio this afternoon and stepped outside and saw this fabulous Red-Tailed Hawk perched on my lilac tree. What a thing of beauty.
And since my studio was straightened up, I'd show you all where I work and paint all day. The bed in the far right is for my dog, of course.

Something you might enjoy - I'm running a year-end challenge on my
Different Strokes From Different Folks blog - 180 artists from all over the world have swapped portraits, each unknown to the other. They're not all in yet, but I have a couple of YouTube videos of the first that have come in. Click here for
Part 1 and click here for
Part 2 - and don't forget to turn up the volume.
Happy Holidays to All
