After several weeks’ delay, I started 3 paintings in about a week and spent several more weeks finishing them, all over December and early January. The first was a scene at the corner of the Industrial Canal and the Mississippi River. The second and third were scenes from our Christmas holiday in Taylor with our girls.
In mid-February, I went to Nashville for a workshop on painting the clothed figure with a terrific artist and instructor, Maggie Siner. She had been my teacher in Aix-en-Provence. Afterwards, I did a scene in Ft. Morgan and several weeks later, some scenes in Eden.
