Christmas Wishes for 2013 & Tribute to Arthur Heming

Arthur Heming was told as a lad that he was color blind. As a result, he painted in black and white for most of his adult life, until, one day, he discovered he wasn't ...  Love this story, and love his work.  I've chosen this painting of his as a Christmas tribute to all the artists out there who persist in the face of overwhelming odds. Your dedication and your efforts are very much appreciated. Keep at it!

Season's Very Best to All. 

Merry Christmas!
