MERRY CHRISTMAS
and the warmest of wishes for a
NEW YEAR
filled with wonder, joy, peace and good health!
As this year comes to a close I find myself filled with a deep sense of gratitude for the life I am living and all the truly wonderful people that I have come to know and love. Thank you to everyone who has stopped by this blog and given me the gift of commenting on my work. You have deeply enriched my life with your insightful thoughts and generous words. You, and viewing your work, continue to inspire and amaze me and have helped me to stay the course on this not always easy artful journey. With a grateful heart I thank you.
I will be traveling for the next couple of weeks and this will be my last blog entry until I return after Christmas. I will show you a practice piece that I painted on heavy brown paper this week - perhaps in preparation for a future work I may attempt on canvas.

Dear Friend Susan...Your works never fail to move me deeply because they so obviously reveal the depth of your generous spirit, while at the same time whimsically incorporating the richness of your imagination and your painting gift.
ReplyDeleteI so look forward to tuning into latest blog subjects and look forward to sharing my own process and thoughts with you.
Enjoy your Christmas break from the easel. Rich blessings of good Health, Joy and Peace in 2020.
Warmest regards,
Bruce
We have just returned from a whirlwind trip to Washington DC and I am trying to catch up and return to my normal routine of painting every day. I hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas filled with good cheer and interesting conversation. In 2020 I look forward to continuing trading thoughts with you and seeing more of your wonderful work. Happy New Year to you, Bruce, and may it be overflowing with joy, peace and creativity!
DeleteSusan, dit zijn prachtige werken, je hebt de kerstman geschilderd, toen hij thuis kwam van zijn lange tochten door de sneeuw, en aan een zalige rust toe was !
ReplyDeleteIk wens jullie een zalige kerstvakantie !

Santa has had an unusual Christmas stop this big giraffe! I hope your Christmas was just as exciting and fun and I wish you a wonderful, joyful New Year!
DeleteWill you make that painting into a Christmas card for next year, Susan? If so please count me in on placing an order. It is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful greeting and thank you for another year of inspiring me with your magic paint brush and generous heart.
Hi, Julie - You have put a thought in my head as I never considered making Christmas cards. I have several Santa paintings with him atop a zebra, a giraffe and a wildebeest!

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and all the best in the New year . Love your Santa riding a giraf , oozes Christmas joy and energy :-)
