happy new year 2010

dec.30th...full moon over miami....solstice,xmas and new years in rapid fashion....what will the new year bring?......i'm in miami for the winter...doing a series of portraits in oil/acrylic/watercolor of the locals and their haunts.....trying  for a "beam reach" in tough economic times...always difficult...it seems that the $ has gone somewhere...exactly where is the question....into wars and welfare for bankers/traders population grows as resources are taxed to the limit.....and so it seems to progress through the years...i guess to appreciate a painting by rembrandt...you don't need to know much about his life/times....and so i try to keep the background noise to a minimum...focus on the craft that i've practiced for over 40 years and ....let the artistic cards fall where they may. peace glc
