I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We had a rare white one! I spotted the neighbor boy and his grandpa, outside our kitchen window, building their own snowman. Adorable!

Merry Christmas Eve! (If you're not reading this before midnight). If I had to choose which day I like better Christmas or Christmas Eve, I would choose Christmas Eve hands down. Can't beat the thrill of anticipation!

This was painted at the PAWA winter paint-in. Held in picturesque downtown Edmonds, it's always a great opportunity to catch up with plein air painting friends.

The center of this ornament was quite the challenge to paint. I'm hoping it reads sparkly.

No. 834 Santa on a Ribbon


Santa on a Ribbon
Oil on Canvas Panel
7" x 5"

I did a painting very similar to this a couple of years ago. It's a glass ornament I inherited from my mom. She was very, very fond of Santa. I've looked for glass ornaments as charming as this one for years and have yet to find one I like as well as this one. So why not paint it again?
