 Well, it's a new year artist in Monet Cafe and on my Patreon page 2024, can you believe it? It was a great 2023 and it was exciting to see so many of you grow artistically. And this year I have so many fun things planned, I'm so excited, but one of the major things that should be happening this year is the new Monet Cafe studio is being built. Some of you have followed the story of myself and my husband through our trials through having our house flood six years ago and the whole time we've been living in a kind of a temporary house, a nice little house, but we've been dreaming of building not only our home on six acres of land, but the new Monet Cafe studio. So that's exciting for me personally and I'm going to bring you guys along with some of the construction process so that should be fun. But I'm also excited about all of the new themes that we're going to have each month in the year 2024, some that I've never done before and some new formats on things and a lot of great community activities on my Patreon page. So I want to also announce the January 2024 theme for the Monet Cafe group on Facebook and my Patreon page. I'm having a learning theme on my Patreon page. I'm calling it Make Your Mark. It should be great for beginners and artists of every level where I'll be focusing on different types of mark making and I've gotten a lot of requests for that. They want to, people want to know how are you making those marks? We're going to explore some different mark making and it should break you out of old habits. The general theme for adding your work to the painting theme albums is called Journey of Hope. I'll have this image in the painting theme album so you can read more about the rules and what type of artwork to submit. The painting theme album will be pinned to the top of our group Facebook page so you can easily find it. So we're just going to have a great time this month and we're going to learn a lot and I cannot wait to share with you more of what's happening in Monet Cafe and on my Patreon page. Happy New Year everyone.
