Charles is making steady progress on his series of paintings depicting the seasons of the liturgical year. The series can be viewed at this link.

This series includes the six parts of the church year: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, After Pentecost (Ordinary Time) and the numerous special markings such as Christ the King Sunday or Ascension of the Lord.

The days are packed!

Wesley has been keeping long hours helping us stay on track for our many Zoom meetings this week!

Another painting on display

"Tableau IV"

36x48, acrylic on canvas, 2020

Charles had another of his paintings placed in the group show being held at Café Aion this week.

Another delivery

One of the good things to come out of the stay-at-home mandates during the pandemic, at least for Wesley, is the steady stream of boxes!

Back to school

Charles has begun two online programs this month, a Certificate in Mental Health and Spirituality (Redlands University) and a Certificate in the Art of Spiritual Direction (San Francisco Theological Seminary). Both programs are entirely online and Charles has really enjoyed himself already!

Wilbur says "hello!"

Wilbur (the bear) does his best to help keep spirits up at the parsonage during the pandemic!
 

First snow of 2021

Our first snow of 2021 fell over night, something in the area of 3". Of course, it won't stick around long as we are expecting temps in the mid-50's by the end of the week.

Wesley does fine art

We made a donation to Open Studio here in Boulder and got the opportunity to get a quick draw pet portrait done of Wesley (from a photo we sent). Our boy is so handsome!

Thanks to Barbara Yates Beasley for the splendid rendition of our fur baby! Find Barbara on her website, www.barabarayatesbeasley.com.

Wesley gets the year started

Wesley has gotten off to a restful start this year, finding ways to pace himself with regular naps throughout the day!

Yummy!

We took part in a unique fundraising effort from our church yesterday where we paid toward a mission project with a donation for a church member's culinary offering. The Matthews brought us a fantastic sphagetti meal that really hit the mark on an early January afternoon!
