Another ATC today for Sea Dean’s ART PARTY.  I still have not caught the Christmas green, red and white spirit. Truthfully, I do not use red to paint with much at all. I always lean more towards the cool colors. This bulb would be perfect for my dream beach house.

OK, so next to the music, Christmas is wonderful to me because of all the glorious colors you see everywhere. Bright, SHINY colors! I mean it is a Willy Wonka feast for the eyes!

(Oompa, oompa, doo-ba-dee-doo, I have another painting for you.)

I’ll stop there. I’ll leave you with that song stuck in your head and a craving for creme puffs and Jujubees.

Three more postcards for the Birthday postcard exchange. Sending them all out tomorrow. Some of the December birthday girls will be getting their cards super early. Knowing how hectic this month is, and how forgetful I am, I wanted to be sure the cards made it to their destinations.

Hope you all had a warm and wonderful holiday!

Worked on this for a friend’s BIG FIVE OH birthday celebration. This was my first attempt, and I am so pleased with how it turned out.

The critic in me says it is completely over worked. I heard those familiar voices in my head the whole time. You know the ones, those characters that go by the names of Fear and Doubt. I just forced myself to work through the mud and the muck. That stage in the middle where it looks like a toddler is holding the brush.

I learned a few new things during the process. For that alone, I can call this a success. The birthday “girl” loved it, and that is all that really matters.

Whew!
