more steps along the way

Last night, in celebration of New Year's Eve, Tony and I stayed in the studio and painted. (way to get a jump on those resolutions!) Granted, we opened a bottle of wine, and yes, at 11:45 we walked 'downtown' to toast in the new year with other revelers... and we had been to a good-sized party the night before, chez Lois & Mark.

I started adding elements to two paintings which have been in the wings for some time... It's been a while since we had a bird, don't you think?
