Happy New Year

I know that many of you have visited my blog silently in last few months asking yourself where are my new posts. It was my wish to return as soon as possible but many changes took place in a last quarter of the, now old, 2009 that has absorbed all of my time usually dedicated to art. That process is far from being over but I will try to do much better in combining my desires and obligations from now on. In that spirit I want to wish all of you very happy and prosperous New Year. I want you to grab the opportunity when it arises and spread your wings to soar into new heights.
I have created this piece for the Fourth Issue of Altered Bits Zine themed : Notorious. It was created while listening to the Carrol Of The Birds By Mormon Tabernacle( my latest carol addiction a splendid old Andalusian song). Link here is for the UCLA Madrigal Singers since I could not find Mormons performance on YouTube.
This artwork is now in a permanent collection of my son whose awe was expressed with a two minute jaw dropping silence ( you can't ask for a higher price).
I also want to contribute it to a Theme Thursdays challenge : Flying and Wednesday Stamper: Open challenge.

New Year

OK
Happy New Year !
(even though it is sort of late for this but ...) last few months were so busy in my and kids life that I had no time to blog. I was visiting some of my favorite places randomly (just to make sure I was still alive) and than even that became sparse. However, no complains, we have managed to have a Thanksgiving lunch , decorate our Christmas tree and bake some delicious new cookies. At the New Years Eve time was so tight that our meat didn't even roast all the way through. But, we lived through all of this with lots of laughter some fighting and some achievements and even managed to create few memorable vignettes that will keep reminding us that even when the times are tough there is always space for love.
Theese new dravings are here to remind me to sharpen the tools and keep on creating in this New Year.
