Happy New Year 2010

Just before the New Year weekend, I got a large delivery of cardboard boxes to pack and ship oil paintings of a commission work that I have completed this summer.

He hang them on his office walls, photographed them and email me the image straight from his iPhone. I love seeing how my art looks on people's walls and homes.

The ski runs are wide and since it is early in the season, it is not yet packed with visitors.
We were invited to a lovely New Year party and got to know more of our neighbors.

The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years stor...
