Out with the old, In with the new...

   2015 was a good year, I guess...the work was fun and entertaining, my health was good for the most part, I had a complete ankle replacement that caused me to loose 20 lbs...I didn't fish as much as I wanted but all in all I should not complain about 2015.
   I (with my daughter the designers help, lets be honest, I was sort of assisting her, sort of being a very loose way of saying I was giving verbal cues as to whether I liked what I was seeing) as I was saying... I just finished my new web site, danburr.com, it was long overdue to be updated with new images and a fresh new style, (the new me...) I'm not sure I'm ready for a new me, but the site was ready, even my son complained that it needed to be brought up to the current decade. That's bad when your kids complain about your web site...
   I know I have neglected this blog too... I've been busy... trying to keep up with work and family takes alot of time and the older I get (just turned 55) the longer it takes this old hard drive to spool up.
   I promise I am going to try to be more active on my blog... just in time too, as blogs are winding down in this new social media frenzied world that we call home. I just cant bring myself to say, much less participate in tweeting or twittering...
   So... check out my new site and because you have been so patient here is a painting from my latest book project, its not done, (deadline looming) but so far has been really enjoyable to work on.
   I've also decided to try... to paint more animals this year and I have a book project of my own that I really would like to get sold this year, I guess that will be my wish list for 2016, I better write these goals down so I have a better chance of making sure they happen...
   Happy New Year, I wish you all a healthy happy and prosperous 2016, especially me...

Happy Trails 2015
