Our annual Brush painting class Christmas party in the studio was so much fun.
Everyone brought a special dish.
Lovely Laura came all the way from the UK. (She has taken all of my lessons on Crowdcast.)
After class, Somi was allowed in the studio, but as soon as she got the zoomies…back downstairs!

The main presentation in December for illustrious Carol Soucek King’s “Salon on the Spiritually Creative Life” was Maggie Thomas. “Our hearts are where the magic of creation takes place. Our feelings, dreams, and memories are the raw material that we can work with to create a joyful and meaningful life.”
That afternoon, instead of being treated at El Portal, generous Carol brought El Portal to her home for a Christmas celebration.
I always love seeing my artwork.
More Christmas parties are coming next. Live joyfully!
