So, 2020 is over and probably nobody regrets that.
I did this self portrait on December 19th and have to admit I really like it. The concentration involved always suggests a certain anxiety but this time the mood and the moment feel like a match.

I have far too many things to be grateful for to start griping about the last twelve months. Among them are the paintings that went off to new homes last year – 69 in total, including 28 sold to raise money for charity. A random and incomplete selection is below. I am so appreciative.
