Happy New Year’s! I wish you all a happy, healthy, promising start and completion of 2008. Can you believe it’s been 8 years since the big Y2K scare? I saw numerous cars filling the lot of the one of the local Lutheran churches and wondered if the Rapture and the Apocalypse are events that people are still concerning themselves with. It’s at this time of year that the History channel dusts off their Nostradamus and Bible Code specials and plays them for the superstitious masses. They’re interesting, but not worth more then their entertainment value allows.

Lately, I’ve been entertaining myself by dusting off some old tools of my own: my watercolors. After a move many things once forgotten are brought to the surface, and nothing prompts one’s curiosity more than boredom. And one boredom filled day I started this duplication of a watercolor print sold at Crate and Barrel at least 2 years ago:

I think the finished product is attractive enough, but this picture of the real canvas is a little more flattering than the real thing; The camera really brings out the colors against the pale washed background.

Have a great day for those with the day off, and for those slaving away in the office today, you only have a few hours left before you can call it a day!
