Somehow I feel like continuing the pattern carving. It’s a bit unusual because previous years I was kind of fed up with carving when January came. This feels ok now, so I will go with it. Here are the first two carves of January:

I would like to do more watercolor painting this year but before I start I need to finish two paintings I promised my mother long ago. They are two mandalas which are supposed to hang in our living room and stairway. I felt quite uninspired because they are large and I have a problem with doing large paintings. So I will be doing them bit by bit. Eventually one day they must be done 😊
