Well it is hard to believe that Christmas has slipped by and we are now in the new year. I would like to wish all of my blog followers and folks who bought art of me this year a healthy new year.

As some of you know I have been offering a painting of mine as a prize in a draw open to people who have seen me at the shows that I have done since  the Equus Live Show in November. I had the draw last night and I am delighted to announce that Angela Barrett, from Kildare won the framed piece pictured below. I spoke to her earlier today and she was delighted.

I am busy at the easel today working on a large picture which will feature thrushes. It is just at the planning stage but I am excited to begin it. It will be a lot of work. I will try to get an image up in the coming days.
