Our beautiful six month old granddaughter is having so much fun this New Year’s Day I couldn’t resist posting this second circle of life and love to join the first.
Welcome to the happiest circle in the world this New Year’s Day,
the circle of life, love and family.
Happy New Year to everyone.

Now is definitely the moment to send warmest wishes to everyone for Christmas Day.

For this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Eye Spy
Mirroir d’Eau I 1.12.15 Pen and Ink on Yupo paper
The Mirroir d’Eau is located across from Place de la Bourse in Bordeaux, France and at 3450 square metres is said to be the largest reflecting pool in the world. It was designed by the French landscape architects Claire and Michel Corajoud and the magic of its transition from artificial misting to a stunning mirror effect has earned it a listing as a contemporary World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It was certainly one of the highlights of our recent visit to this beautiful historic French city as you will have seen on Day 294 and here in these photos that inspired today’s pen and ink wash.
In November 2013 for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Layers I posted the progress from blank canvas to finished painting of the beautiful Cypress Alleyway at Castello di Reschio in Umbria, Italy. Since two years have now gone by this week’s Photo Challenge: Transition seemed to be the perfect excuse to re-purpose Birth of a Painting. I hope you agree.
The studio is mobile this weekend so here is a photo trio of today’s early morning sky…
