bah humbug

So very much hoping this isn't a reflection of me during this crazy hectic season. Sadly, I think it is. I meant for him to look happy. But this is how he was feeling this morning. Bah humbug. I'm doing my best to keep and eye out for the holiday spirit sometime soon :) This could be a great holiday gift for an art lover/Christmas nay sayer in your life...

amelias ornaments

More magical ornaments. There's nothing better than my early morning painting time. Just me, my coffee, my paints, my cat and my podcast. Today's listen was the Being Boss Episode #100 // Best of Being Boss. What a great idea to do a year in review podcast. Sure made me realize I've missed lots so now I have many podcasts I want to go back and listen to. Yea! They help you with defining your goals, setting your intentions, building healthy boundaries, and cultivating habits that will help you reach success on your terms. Who doesn't need to learn more about that?!? A great podcast!

something magical

A box of vintage ornaments just waiting to be hung on the tree in the perfect spot. It's time to start getting ready for the holidays with Thanksgiving just around the corner. It takes weeks to get ready for Christmas and it seems to fly by in an instant. Same with painting. Time flies when you're having fun. Always.

I love, love vintage Christmas ornaments. I had some time on Saturday morning to do a quick photo shoot of some beautiful ornaments that some friends kindly loaned to me. They are challenging to paint, but oh, so much fun! They look magical when they are finished. Christmas is right around the corner, and honestly, I should have been painting these in July!

believe

This is a big painting for my niece. I did one a few weeks ago for myself (see previous post). She wanted one that says "believe." So fun! The background is gesso and acrylic and the bell is painted in oils. I'm sure it will look amazing in her beautiful home! Happy Holidays!
