To peace and a good read

I wish everyone the best--that's for always, not just the New Year. May your canvases sparkle, and inboxes do the same.

I'm pleased that she was able to see parts of these paintings before she died and, hoping it all meets her approval, here are three of a series of ten--more to post soon.
