Here is the text from the back of my Holiday card of 2021.
Seems that it still hold true for this year.

"It has been an interesting year full of trials and triumphs. We hope everyone has been able to experience joy and laughter amidst the grumbling and gnashing of teeth.

My dear friends are turning aloft and a barn into an art gallery. Kind of glad I'm being represented here. It's a private exhibition I'm afraid.

I work in oil but I don't like to work wet n wet that much so I have many WIP that are either being worked on or drying. I also like to sit in ponder my next steps on some of the ones that I'm not happy about.
I will be posting my current WIP today.

My Uncle Lou Keely did not return. He was the rear gunner on AL-H. March 24/25, 1944 Berlin.
This was another terrible night as 72 crews failed to return due to being blown off course and over heavy flak defenses.

Been busy doing work around the house and not too much artwork. Here's a picture of a king crimson snake that I found outside my studio door the other night. Just remember red and yellow kill a fella
