Happy New Year!

Another new year! I spent most of the last night and day in bed feeling sick as a dog. What a way to start off the year - with a rotten cold. Ah well, it could be worse, right? At least I managed to drag myself off the couch in order to paint a painting for the 30 days of painting. Whew! It's not a good one and I didn't spend long on it but it was done. I just couldn't bring myself to start off this challenge with a no-show.

I also managed to make a quickie digistamp for ArtTrader as a new year gift - Art Warrior 2014. You can grab the high resolution on the ArtTrader site. If you're not readers of ArtTrader Magazine, you might want to check it out. We released Issue 21 yesterday and it has lots of interesting articles for those of you interested in ATCs, art journals and other mail art. Even if you're not into mail art, it's a good read for techniques and how-tos.

  1. Wonderful color! I really like those blocky, colorful shadows. (You may notice a few more familiar faces over there, thanks to your mention about this challenge at Art Trader.) Feel better!
