Fruit in Winter

this winter orange-
so many long sunny days
now oozing sweetness

Happy (Chinese) New Year!

The Golden One!

I wish you a beautiful new year full of golden moments and soaring dragon dreams!

I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; garlands from window to window; 

golden chains from star to star, and I dance.

-- Arthur Rimbaud

500!

"Lessons from Life"  Vyacheslav Shchelokov

I just uploaded the 500th image to my online Women in the Act of Painting project. I am amazed at how fast this point has been reached. The project is in three Facebook albums for the moment, but a blog and a book are in the works. The response to the project has been overwhelming, and I am grateful for all the comments, encouragement and contributions of images. I have learned so much, and plenty more "life lessons" to come. Thank you everybody, I really couldn't have done it without you!

Happy New Year!

(A New Year's Day Kiss)
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!
