Christmas Came Early ...
... in the studio last Saturday. Everyone was gathered around my table with big smiles to greet me and they gave a joyous shout of Merry Christmas! There were hugs all around and then it was time to paint. We had a wonderful day sharing various treats with Christmas music playing; we painted and partied and trust you did the same!

IT WAS TWO DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS ...
...and all thru L.A.
I wondered and wondered
how best to convey...
wishes and wants and my whole laundry list
straight to the source of good old St. Nick!
On Dasher, on Dancer head straight to the door
of Valerie and Eugene's and search no more.
For there in the house all twinkling and bright
is all that you'd want to do Christmas just right!
Carolers were strolling in their costumes so fine

as guests were treated to find food and good wine!
Presents galore for each lucky guest
and finally my wish for St. Nick was at rest!
Phyllis, Valerie & yours truly with Vicki & Carol

MORE ON OUR NATIONAL TREASURE…
Tyrus Wong. Erik Friedl sent me this link and you will enjoy every moment of it. Using a 2,000 year old kite making process, Tyrus forms a Centipede and then we see it flying. This is definitely a must watch.
