Hope you are settling well into the New Year! Reflecting on 2014, it was a pretty good year for me and my family, full of accomplishments, travel, albeit with some extended family discord on my side. But that has been going on for years. New Year's Eve and Day were quiet for husband M and I, a welcome quiet. I put my decorations away on New Year's Day. Son K went downtown with friends to Nathan Phillips Square for New Year's Eve, where they had skating, fireworks and a show leading up to the countdown. On the way home, K reported seeing a man vomitting on the subway and seeing a girl passed out from too much alcohol and her friend carrying her into the subway. He also saw this girl sticking her head out of a cab to vomit. They even witnessed a screaming, loud breakup of a relationship at a bus stop. There was free transit that evening. He describes this as a fun night. Daughter L was partying out of town.
Anyway, my festive piece is done in my art journal for Creative Tuesdays. It's done in watercolour pencils (5"h x 7"w).

My New Year's Eve is spent the same way every year -- transferring all the information from my old pocket calendar to my new one. I have all these same calendars from the 1970's. Great way to keep track of events. My bubbly would have to be Martinelli's with a little water added.
Love your festive piece, but not the descriptions of the drunk people and their behaviour - seems to happen everywhere!
Your festive piece is really nice.
I think as we get older, our idea of a fun New Year's eve changes!
Love this Christine! Festive and beauty!
Too bad about the drunks. Love your sketch.
My idea of a fun night has changed a lot over the years. Sounds like yours has, too.
wow, sounds like alcohol ruined a Happy New year for a few , we celebrated quietly at home, your sketch is lovely,
None of that vomit stuff sounds fun. Oy. Great picture though.
nice one, I like the colors and the bubbles, very cheerful.
have a great day.
I'm so happy to be an old fart ad have no pressure to get out and party! Happy New Year!
Hmmm... Sounds like K was having a rather interesting evening. I'm thinking I'd prefer staying at home after hearing this.
people always drink too much around the holidays
I love your festive art! Wonderfully composed and lovely! We stayed in this new year eve...
So enough bubbly for both you and the Mr, there Christine? A berries too? Very wise thing...and healthy! now, not such a fun night for your son, well wouldn't be for me at any rate. I never ever have understood what is the fun of getting so drunk and miserable really. Well, there you go. You pic, on the other hand is full of sparkle and fun. Wishing you a wonderful new year, Christine full of unexpected joys. Thank you for playing along again! :)
I love your festive piece! I love it as well to see how you often illustrate your everyday life and I like it so much!
Love your champagne drawing Christine. I had thought of doing champagne glasses as well but did not think I would be able to draw them well enough, so well done you.
