Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

So many things to do.. so little time.  Just to let you all know that this will be my last post until January.  I'm getting ready for the Holidays and this coming Sunday we will be visiting my sweet Aunt Esperanza in New Jersey to celebrate her 105th birthday!!  She's already thinking about how she wants to celebrate her 106th!!  Thank you all for your visits and for  your generous comments.  I always look forward to seeing your next paintings....you are all SO talented and we all have our own personal techniques in our work that makes it so interesting!   To my friends... Merry Christmas and Happy and Healthy New Year!!!  John, Hilda and Cali

    Oh Hilda, I'm way behind on my posting. I'm sorry. This photo is darling, and it looks like Cali is ready for the holiday! That is marvelous that your aunt is 105 years old! Truly, a great accomplishment, bless her heart! The street in front of our home is named Esperanza...it means "hope."

    Hello Hilda!:) I started blogging again yesterday, and want to thank you for your visits,and caring words. I wish you a very joyful and healthy New Year. Is that your cute dog in the photo?
    Warm Regards.

    Your paintings of children are lovely, and are much more difficult to do than adults
