Good morning. As I sit enjoying my coffee in the living room, the sun is streaming in through my crystals and making colorful rainbow prisms on the yellow walls. It’s a beautiful January day here in Central Florida.

Mark has just come in from walking the dogs, and BeeZee is excited to sit with me. I must get the details, she must’ve come across something to bark at. 😂 Yesterday, we heard that our friends Pat and Ken are not keeping Murphy, the five year old English Springer spaniel. 🤔 They have only had him for two weeks. Murphy doesn’t trust apparently and has drawn blood on both of them. He seems a lovely dog, but unfortunately, they are not the folks willing to work through his fears. We would love to adopt him, but we will have to pass. Two dogs are plenty enough expense for us. Murphy is going back to his original home. It might be better for him to go to springer rescue where he will get evaluated and rehabilitated. I’ll make the suggestion. 

This painting is still being worked on. But for the moment, it is being hung in the living room so we can look at it and see if it wants anything else.

Under review  ... 

While Mark was working on his hunting gear, I did an art journal page. It is a mock up of a future painting. This is just a rough draft.

I would move to figure to the left, in front of the window. And of course the interior wallpaper would be quite different. Anyway, it’s an idea.

It’s just 69°F but we enjoyed a nice happy hour on the front porch. Our neighbor Jim came over with a late Christmas present for us. One is a carved Scottie from quarts, and the other is a brass door knocker a Scottish Terriers. What a surprise that was.
