I've been having a great time doing Christmas commissions in Central Gardens. Two of my recent favorites are both from there (including this one). I'm going to have to continue to break out of my Evergreen rut and get myself south of Union as I keep painting in the new year.

It's rainy again today and tomorrow, but I have three more commissions to do, so I'm hoping for a few more sunny days over the weekend and early next week. Today I spend packaging up all this art work and getting it in the mail. Thank goodness for the new automated package machine at the post office -- I'd still be there if I'd had to stand in that line earlier.
