Shapes, a bloom and a pomegranate.

                    Painting what is around me & making up the rest.  What day is it again?  
                         I'm looking forward to falling back into my daily schedule soon!

Christmas abduction...

I held out pretty well this year but BIG sigh, I'm relieved it's over!  Take it away!
(Quick gouache painting in my tiny sketchbook.)

On a positive note-I will miss the twinkle lights.

Daily dose of vitamin C.


Clementines and a Christmas cactus.

Merrymaking!


A festive painted pattern & some Christmas hand lettering should do the trick.

And the stockings were hung.


Painting stuff around my house.

Stockings are such a weird tradition.
Particularly hung above a fire?
I need to research this to see how it came to be.

Holiday Hounds


Holiday hounds tethered to trees.  Patiently awaiting their owners return.
Dogs are the best!  (Especially when the are seasonally accessorized.)

Wander the World

I like to think that even though the world is a big place filled with different people, we all come together to celebrate with the ones we love.
This concept inspired my Wander the World ornaments available through Oopsy Daisy.

Hop on over & take a closer look.  Bon Voyage!
