Seasonally Specific Salutations!

To all those out there on the blogosphere who read my blog:- "Seasonally Specific Salutations"

I have been rather quiet on the blog of late as you may have noticed, there's a number of reasons I guess:

1. I often get back pain which keeps me away from the painting table & sitting in general.
2. Over 12 months ago I suffered work stress related burnout, and whilst I have continued to stay in the same job, my health has been troubled since, and there are times where I can do nothing but rest.
3. I lost my painting "mojo", as some put it (temporarily hopefully).
4. Connected to point two, is that often my head is so full of "stuff", that putting expectations on myself to finish a model or bunch of figures, is more than my old brain can handle.

My sincere hopes are for a new, and more suitable job and better health in the New Year.

I hope you all have a peaceful Christmas.

I have included some pictures of Eureka 28mm Teddy Bears in 18th Century uniforms, which I painted for my daughter in July as a birthday present, plus the last pic which is a WIP which I'm hoping to finish in time for Christmas for her.

God's Blessings and Peace to you all,
John.
