Our 2022 Holiday Greeting

It is not easy to allow oneself to be vulnerable, but this year for our holiday card, that is what I did.

Oftentimes, I find a photograph that was taken during the year, and we use that as the image on our holiday card. That isn’t that unusual. We enjoy seeing friends and family share some of the images of highlights from the year that is nearly past.

This year, however, I’ve been secretly revisiting watercolor painting. The technique fascinates me - and often alludes me - but I enjoy using the creative part of my brain. It’s been a very long time.

So it is with humbling vulnerability, I share our holiday greeting for 2022 - a handpainted watercolor that I think expresses the one hope both of us have for all - peace. Not just peace which is in short supply especially during the flurry of holiday preparation, but also peace in our lives and in the world in the coming year.
