Last WIP - Manarola

Hi Everyone, I did Lots more work today.  Well I thought I would be finished today but I couldn't, my back is sore and my eyes are tired. So officially here are my last WIP pics #18 from today and 17 from yesterday. And a better photo today.   I worked most of the day on fine detail bits all over the painting.  Did more work on Foliage, boats, cement wall, and some shadowing a little all over.   I Just need to finish a bit more shading and my water and it will be done. Have a great evening everyone

My more work from yesterday, worked on the foliage and some outlining.

Christmas Wishes and All the Best for the New Year

Hi Everyone, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years.  It was nice to spend time at home for Christmas and another nice no snow winter this year here in Johannesburg.  The thunderstorms have finally subsided and we have been having great weather.  I took some time off and just hung out with my husband over the holidays.  I did lots of cooking and we really relaxed.   On New Years Eve, we went to a party at Mythos Greek Restaurant. It was a really great time.  There was lots of good food, nice people, Greek Dancing, Belly dancers and fire jugglers. 

Wishing You All a Very Happy New Year and All the Best for 2015.   Now its time to get back into my studio and finish that Manarola, Cinque Terre Painting. I hope I can do more painting then the last year.    Some pics of our Christmas to Share:
