With this 2nd wreath version inspired by @jeanhaines newest tutorial at #jeanhainesonlineartschool let me say to you: 


 “Here’s to a bright New Year and a fond farewell to the old; 

here’s to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we hold.”

YES!!! Our last challenge for the year with @aligator_watercolor_community is by far my favorite of the year - a Secret Santa where we paint a portrait for one of the other artists in the community.
My muse was the beautiful and very talented Kate Shepherdson @studio.shep currently living in Australia. It was such a pleasure and joy to paint her.
