Let me start off by wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year. It's been a heck of a year..two shoulder surgeries and my daughter having a stroke! So let's just say that 2018 will be wonderful!. I decided to start the New Year with a still life. The colander is an antique that belonged to my mother-in-law. I always loved it. It looked so nice when I put the peaches inside it. I used colorfix paper which is perfect when you want texture in the fruit.
Wow, you had a rough year, I'm so sorry. I hope 2018 will treat you better! Beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteThank you Theresa...I will be hoping for a good year for me and all of my blogging friends. I'm glad you liked my painting!

ReplyDeleteA GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
ReplyDeleteAm so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
