After a long period of reluctance, The Reluctant Blogger has decided to blog again.  Why not give it a try......starting with a new painting.  All my 2012 work is gray, black, muted.  More to follow.  I will also be offering some of my own constructed crossword puzzles - rejected by the NY Times, but very good nonetheless!  That's all for now.  Now I must figure how to get you to read these posts.  btw, you can follow me on Twitter!  @barbarafisher10.
