Today was another good day. I began by going to the painters loft during the morning. I finished my still life that has Peterson Park as the background. I was quite pleased with it. Then I worked on the portrait of my wife. I did have some problems with it as I couldn't get the facial coloring the way I wanted it. I'll work on it again on Wednesday. I had lunch with a friend. We are going to water their plants while they are away for the Holidays and I picked up the key. I overate. I didn't need the double hot fudge sundae at the end of my lunch. Will I never learn. My son and his girlfriend drove down for the evening. We had a good dinner at Granite City. My stepson joined us. Afterwards we returned home and opened gifts and visited. Our Schnauzer was really excited as he loves company. All in all, I had a great day.
