It’s a new year. I guess officially it was a new year four days ago.  But it didn’t feel like a new year then.  Perhaps all of the family gatherings and the parties and the going out.  But now that life is slowly retreating into its routine humdrum, it feels like a new year with new beginnings.

This will be my first whole year in my “newer” studio as a full time artist.

This will be our pup Ben’s first whole year with us.

This will be our first whole year back in California.

There were so many starts and stops to 2009 that left me feeling so disjointed, it was difficult to grasp what the entirety was all about.  I am looking forward to really burrowing into my art and see how far I can take it.  Perhaps I can dig a tunnel all the way to China?
