Belated Happy New Year

watercolor 6x6 inches

 This is a watercolor I painted last year of the Dude Creek Critical Habitat in Gustavus.  Sandhill cranes stop here on their spring and fall migration 

I had hoped to start  blogging regularly and do Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days challenge this month, but after a two month hassle getting scheduled I went into Juneau on the ferry Monday and had arthroscopic miniscus repair surgery on Wednesday. I came home yesterday.  I had started 3 paintings before I went to Juneau, but its going to be a while before I'm going to easily go down the stairs to the studio too finish them.  Tomorrow, I hope to set up and paint in the living room.

I have been working on getting my gallery set up in Daily Paintworks.  I've yet to get a paypal button, but I do have prices and an email button. It's one thing at a time when the internet decides to let me in.
