Happy new year. This most recent artwork, “Blessed,” was painted with love and in preparation for the many blessings to come in 2017 and beyond, by God’s grace. I used mostly soft pastel-colored tones to express compassion – one of the essential values, which has the power to open doors to hearts that may have otherwise been cold or closed. Be blessed and have a wonderful new year.
