One reason for starting this blog was to become more computer literate. Now that I depend on it, it's frustrating when it doesn't work. This morning the system was down for several hours. UGH! While waiting for things to sort themselves out, I finished Marsh Morning, showing the soft glow of a quiet morning with a trio of palms greeting the day.

I'm still not sure that even this blog is working correctly. Does anyone ever try to leave a message here? Some of you write me directly, and I welcome your comments and thank you, but would love to have someone try to leave a comment on the blog. You can do this anonymously!

In addition to painting this weekend we attended a Christmas Boat Parade party at the home of some friends. What a party! We were treated to good music, good food, good friends, and an absolutely gorgeous sunset over the water. The creativity and sparkle of the boats was an added bonus. Thanks, Carol & Jim!
