I like this quote.
"An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves." ~ Bill Vaughan
If that doesn't inspire, there are the wise words from Bob Marley...
"Don't worry about a thing, 'cause every little thing gonna be all right."
I wish you a very happy, healthy and creative 2015 and thank you for your support and friendship.
Cheers ~ Karin J

My 2015 Calendars are Here
I made up two this year - the smaller Desk Calendar called Dog Days was created for me and they're so cute I ordered more.
Here is the larger Wall Calendar titled Days at the Museum - with 12 reproductions of my original paintings of people viewing art.
Opened up, the Wall Calendar measures 11 x 17-1/4". To see the full calendar, click here.
I will donate the profits from the sale of the first 20 to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home, a cancer hospice here in Atlanta.
These SOLD OUT quickly, more are coming.

"200 Faces, No. 144"
5 x 5"
oil on panel
sold
sold
I've had a frustrating painting week with a couple of wipe-offs. Rusty I guess. Too tight. And the way to climb out of that is to paint a mugshot. It's been a while, I don't know why, it's one of my favorite subjects and I'm so, so happy with this new addition to my ongoing series BUST-ED.
