The dawn of a new year: who knows what it will bring. Is there a glimmer of light on the horizon? Let us be optimistic, although things are pretty grim at the moment. I skim over the headlines each day, trying to avoid the worst of the news.
We all wish for world peace, at least those of us who are not dictators or involved in the arms industry. Meanwhile, let us take comfort in the good things in life, if we can manage it: art and books and nature, family and friends. And let us hope for good health.
Let us think of those who have none of the above, and lend a helping hand when we can. Let us hope for that glimmer of light on the horizon.
And for those who like to celebrate, here is a painting by Toulouse Lautrec, who was a master at depicting people enjoying themselves!
Happy New Year, everyone!
Have a wonderful 2024, Marina. I am looking forward to more of your lovely Art, and travel posts too.
Best wishes, Pete. x
