Holiday Rush

Forget shopping. Making and giving holiday gifts is one of the things I like best about the holidays…but the final rush is definitely here. With a week to go before Christmas, creative ideas and good intentions are flowing as fast as the hourglass fills. So…a quick post today of one of my latest projects.

  1. Thank you for posting this lovely painting! I always enjoy seeing your work but this one especially touches my heart! Merry Christmas!!!

    • Thanks Jill! I decided to paint my pink poinsettia because I don’t have a good, transparent warm red, which I would need for red poinsettia . But the lighter colors gave me a chance for more variety.

  2. Wish I was on your gift list…someone will be very happy to receive this beautiful painting.

    • Thanks Jan! I painted five of these– I figured I could work on them all at once, rotating between them as the paint layers dried. It ended up being a much bigger undertaking than I anticipated! Glad they are all in the mail to far-flung loved ones today!

  3. Beautifully done, so delicate Jean.
    A lovely way to wind up your year of posts!
