It’s pointless to wish for a conflict-free life.
> How’re your resolutions going?

If you are like me, the first few weeks of January are a little tough getting back to a more disciplined healthy lifestyle. I don’t forgo my exercise routine throughout the year, but in December, I do go off the rails with too much indulging in my favorite seasonal comfort foods. Oh well, life is short – and Gram’s baking traditions must be maintained! Even so, I don’t love the aftermath. So, I go back to my regular way of eating: smaller portions, resist temptation, indulgences in moderation.

How about you? What are your conflicts this week?

This painting is from a series I did several years ago. I had a collection of words cut out from newspaper horoscopes that I used as inspiration to make little ‘Daily Horoscope Paintings’. The cut-out words are collaged into the paintings.
