I hope that you all had a fantastic New Year's Eve party, celebration, firework extravaganza, donnybrook, quiet glass of sherry, or evening-in watching the telly. However you celebrated, I wish you all a wonderful, happy, relaxing, paint-filled 2018.
And, to get that New Year off to a terrific start, can I reassure you all that you're in the RIGHT PLACE for that! (Sorry, was that a little too loud for some sensitive heads this morning. I'll speak more softly for the rest of this post, I promise.... )
I'm Sidney Roundwood, and I'm the Monday Minion for this year's Challenge. So I shall be here for points scoring and introducing of the fine painting submissions of the "Monday Crowd". And a finer Crowd of painters I cannot imagine. They hail from every corner of the globe, and their brush-skills are a great way to get us all inspired to have at least a few minutes today at the painting table, bench, ledge or desk.
We have some superb Soviets, some fantastic French, and a wondrous purple addition to the flock. And that's just to get us started.....
So, without more waffle from me, let's get on with the show!!!
