I was at the Courtauld Gallery today to see “Cezanne’s Card Players” exhibition and visit one of my favorite pieces in the gallery’s permanent collection. I thought it was fitting to make the donation from the sale of this painting to the ArtFund, a registered UK charity and donor to the Courtauld. They,
“campaign, fundraise and give money to museums and galleries to buy and show art, and promote its enjoyment through our events and membership scheme.”
I hope to get involved with the ArtFund this year. What a perfect combination of my love for the visual arts and nonprofits!

Here’s a shot of our truly DIY decorated tree (hand-strung popcorn and all).
While I’m on break from grad school, I’m thinking about what I should draw and paint in the new year that I can finish in short increments since time is scarce with class. I would love to hear your suggestions, or better yet, send me photos for inspiration.
I hope Santa is nice to you tomorrow!
