HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR 2025

Welcome to my blog.  I hope that everyone had a very 

Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. 

I’m typing this post from my iPad so I’m a little slow.   I forgot my laptop as I’m at our beach house for our New Zealand summer.  The weather has been rather changeable so far as we haven’t been able to take the boat out yet.  

I hope you enjoy my sketches for 2025, they are coloured so you can see the layers as they are easier to follow.  I can’t wait to visit your blog entries.
