 I am especially grateful for more blessings than I can count.
Friend and NM artist Terry Garrett sent my new calendar for 2019.
























Every year he sends artwork for each month. 
I so enjoy having it to see daily.

 I just received a gift in the mail from friend/artist, Carrol Wolf.

A beautiful calendar of her watercolors, ready to use.




And, just yesterday two packages were left at my door.
Gifts of two new books from my dear friend Denise.
I have started one, and look forward to both.
Denise has exquisite taste.





I am also truly grateful for you. 
Thank you for visiting, and especially thank you 
for taking the time to comment, when you can.

I wish for you and yours, the best, healthiest, happiest new year 
(so far) in this coming 2019.

Over a week ago I posted a Sketchbook Project spread here ...



Sketchbook Project spread: junk mail collage & Stabillo pencil. (wip)

It was a start, and said wip, or work in progress.
I got back to it today ...




I used some Golden Nickel Azo Yellow on the background.





I added Neocolors randomly.





A close -up, and ...
 



a closer,  close-up.

Today before class we were talking.
It came up about how fast time seems to goes by. 
I mentioned that WonderWoman said she remembered 
me telling her years ago that the older we get, 
 time goes by faster. She said now she really sees that it is true. 
I said, oh wait! It keeps accelerating.
Then Mike said it's like a car, at ten years old time goes at
ten miles an hour. In your thirties, thirty miles an hour, and so on.
Wow! I had never heard that but it sure makes sense why
my time is flying by, over the speed limit!
