Holiday Art



I painted today. Despite everything I have yet to do, I blew off the things I should do and opted for what I wanted to do. Ok, it is not a masterpiece, but it is good enough for a Christmas card. I need something in the right front. I was going to put some cardinals on the mailbox but the birds got lost. Too small. Will have to think of something else- or maybe I will just leave it alone.

Jeri read my book. So glad she liked it. So far, everyone who has read it has liked it. The subjects are tough but the reading flow is easy.

It is getting cold again. We had a few very cold nights last week- early freezes and it will freeze again tonight. It is already under 40 degrees.Brrrr...

Oh no! I posted the art and the right side of the image is cut off!

I don't think so. If you send me a card, I'll have to respond in turn! (It's not because I don't want my address given out.)

I may use this as next year's card... unless I paint something that I like better.

I used it as a card here and on Facebook. Hope you had a great Christmas!

I admire not only your ability, but your effort in sending cards. I may send 2 cards--after Christmas! I wait to see who sends me one first!

You are too funny! Send me your address (privately, of course) and I will send you a card next year. I think you are a great guy and will not insult you by sending a nativity scene.

A big red bow on the near mail box would make it a holiday card, maybe some subtle Christmas lights on that small evergreen in the side yard.

I added a wreath and red ribbon. Thanks for the suggestion.

That is an amazing painting. It is perfect for a Christmas card, too!

I posted it on MyBloggers- but after that, made a few more changes to the original canvas. Hope you had a great Christmas!
