Merry Christmas 2017
Oil Pastels by Mary 
Dear Mary,
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, as I did with my partner Maureen (one highlight was watching Puccini’s ‘La Bohème’ at the Royal Opera House, screened on BBC4).
Have a great New Year and Best Wishes for 2018 – may it be a happy, healthy and creative year for you.
Your beautiful artwork, whether in gorgeous oil pastels, lustrous acrylic or moody graphite, often seems to me to have a sort of visual poetry about it, and I look forward to seeing more next year. Maybe a few seascapes? I always love those.
Fond regards,
Paul
Hi Paul, such a beautiful comment – thank you so much for your presence and writing such encouraging words that continue to inspire me to create. Best wishes for a wonderful, peaceful and happy 2018, with lots of creative writings and of course readings for audiences all over to enjoy your work with you.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Mary! ♥
Thank you so much Ann-Christine and the same to you. I hope you have a peaceful and healthy 2018! Looking forward to your beautiful photography ~
Let us hope for a good year. Thinking of our mothers as well.
Yes, perfect! I think 2018 will be a transitional period for us that will take all of us to a place we haven’t experienced before. My thoughts are with you and your family Ann-Christine, and wish only the best for your beautiful Mother. Thank you my friend.
And my thoughts are with you and yours. Let us hope for the best, and light in the dark.
That’s a good way to put it – I’ll have to remember “light in the dark.”
Nice…😊
Thank you Aman ~ best wishes to you during 2018!
