Obtuse comment from My Reader: “It is about time…!” Personally, I had hoped that 2016 was going to be a banner year for the whole lot of us. However, it looks as if the result on several particular outcomes, just two mentioned…Brexit and Mr. T…has snapped more than garters, and left more than just the few of us breathless and unsure of place.
To that end.
Bootstraps. Braces on. Standing tall. Moving. Forward.
Pass the peas.
Please.
I’ll be in touch…
We that live just across the pond are feeling the same way.

The table is set then,huh. Merry late Christmas and Shtufffs!
I see your pigment and read your wisdom and think. May I shall become a ‘painter in 2017 and paint myself into a painting. Covertly hiding under some yellow or submerge myself in Cobalt Blue. Where, sheltered from the craziness, I can hurl ‘truth bombs’ at the insanity that seems to be marching onward, with no end insight. What’s a good brush going for these days? Or, maybe I’ll just wallpaper my Lavatory.

I don’t particularly like bread – unless it’s straight from the oven, but cornbread? i’ll fight for that last slice!
i’ve moved away from my cast-iron skillets and miss them so much!

As much as I love your painting, your words were even better. I’ll be mucking the stalls if you need me, in a forward direction whenever possible.
