I have found that the wet and gloomy weather that we have been having for about the last month is not helping my concentration- or maybe I am just not so motivated right now.
however I have been painting commissions and doing a lot of small paintings to amuse myself which would make good christmas presents.
I have also kept on sketching when I could and enjoying it.
Tonight as I write this there is more snow forecast , there is a nasty cold wind blowing outside and and a little inside too, so thought I would post all my cheerful little paintings and anything else i can find to warm me up.

They are wonderful and colorful and happy!! Thank you!
thank you. I enjoyed painting and drawing them.
Are you staying warm? Get those heaters fired up and…Did you know that wearing a lot of skin cream in the winter will keep you warmer? Or bear fat…
not a lot of bear fat available in pisticci!!! Heaters on full and an electric blanket.using painting money to pay for extra heating so getting more motivated by the minute. Sold one through twitter to someone in south africa yesterday. how amazing is that! missing you.. hope all’s well.
