A new painting

in between wrapping up current drawing and painting classes i've been trying to get my own painting in. i've been semi-successful. pictured here is a new piece ready to be painted. working title, Pure Joy.

i hope everyone has a wonderful end of year. its always this time where we reflect and think of the ups and down of months past. ultimately this has been a successful year for me with a new boyfriend, a new (and improved) home for the dog and i, even a new car, and many important lessons learned career wise. i still have a ways to go to where i want to be, but i'm looking forward an even more succesful year in 2012. cheers to all!
