A new year should mean a new start but this isn't always what is needed.  I started the year as I ended it; with a return of depression.  I hope it's just the time of year but if not I need to get going with my paint brushes as it's the only escape from the feelings of despair.

I made my own Christmas cards for the first time in 2013 which were well received.

I also gave my eldest daughter a couple of pictures of Welsh castles which she asked me to paint.

 

 

For my youngest daughter I painted her two cats from a photograph she had put on Facebook, she was delighted with it.
