I was overjoyed when the latest piece of cradled canvas was delivered to our house December 10. I commenced construction lines the following day and looked forward to painting throughout the holidays, hoping to finish December 31. Alas, I finished Painting #21 for Maryhill School of Theology in a mere nine days. It is December 20, and I am now torn between ordering a new canvas, though I'm afraid the framer's men are already on vacation, or simply doing nothing but eat and sleep the rest of the year.

It is possible that my spirit guides want me to rest and take a break from painting until the first week of January 2021.
