I've neglected my blog the past two weeks; there's a good reason....
That's my spouse holding our new grandson, Warner Percy Lystra, born January 16, 2010. Here's a better picture of the most beautiful baby ever (the possible exception being the lad's father.)
And here he is with the proud parents
I have to admit, I haven't been able to get much painting done. I have managed a few more scavenger hunt sketches but haven't had a chance to scan them yet. I did enter two pieces in a regional competition here in our area, Winter Festival, which opens February 5. I learned today that both got in which makes me a happy camper. Here they are (the light reflection on the dancers is because it's a poor photo.)
Who knew being a grandmother was going to take up so much of my time. When he's here I find myself doing nothing but stare at this sleeping miracle of a child. He's such fun to watch as he wiggles and stretches and sometimes opens his eyes to take a peek around at what's going on then back to sleep. Even when he fusses he's relatively quiet about it. I feel so blessed that the kids moved back home last fall and we are able to see the little guy regularly.

Congratulations on your beautiful new grandson Helen, how wonderful that he is close by so you can enjoy him to the full!
Congratulations!!! I wondered why you hadn't been posting...and here is the delighful answer!!! Enjoy him...they grow so fast!
Thank you all, he is beautiful isn't he and such a good little guy. Even when he's cranky he's quietly cranky, just like his dad was. I had planned to catch up on everyone else's blog today but Jamie just called, she and the baby are coming over to do laundry so I may not get to many.
