Super watercolour Fiona, I’ll stay positive as I have done through all this lot, as I know you will also!

Nice loose watercolour Fiona - love the trees on the far bank.

Great positive quote for the New Year and winterscape Fiona.

Thank you Alan. Yes, I think we share that Al, as long as we’ve got paint and something to apply it with, we are content. Gina, thank you very much, my favourite bit also. Happy New Year!

Painting it and saying it like it is. Lovely Fiona.

Posted by Jim Morris on Thu 31 Dec 11:45:57

Thanks very much Ronald. A good quote to face any challenge but I thought particularly so for the small things that are happening around us as well as the greater problems ahead.

“Whatever is coming, there is but one way to meet it-to go straight forward, to bear what has to be borne, and to do what has to be done.” I have an old book that has great quotes for every day, I looked up the quote for the 31st December and thought it fit this New Year’s Eve perfectly. I can’t credit the quote to anyone, no name attached.....I wonder if he/she could see in to the future! I wish you all the safest, most positive and the happiest of years for 2021....we deserve it don’t you think?! X
