Happy Holidays!!!!!

Today I wanted to wish all of those who will be celebrating the holiday of Christmas a very HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!!!!  As I think about the coming year, this picture seemed quite fitting.  It is part of a piece of canvas that I painted - colors, details, depth.  May the coming year be filled with color.  May you find happiness and love in the details.  And may you experience every moment with depth and gratitude.  I will be spending some quiet time reflecting and creating over the holiday!  I hope you have a precious, peaceful and love-filled rest of your week!
