Greetings from Bleujay,
Happy New Year!
What a whirlwind year it has been already. Usually January is rather quiet, artistically speaking....however this year is different...the ideas for subject matter are flowing in at a rapid pace.
This subject matter....of a nod to the Dutch Master still-life artists of long ago....has been an idea for quite a while and is actually only a study size of the larger size in mind. We shall see if it really comes to fruition. ^__^
Here's wishing you and yours a Happy New Year...and God's best for each of you.
'For by grace are you saved and that not of yourselves, it is a gift from God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' Ephesians 2. 8,9
It is Faith alone in Christ alone for salvation.
Thank you for dropping by. ^__^
Kind Regards,
Bleujay
