I've been working on the final details and tweaking this painting.  This will be my second Christmas card design for 2015.  

Thank you for coming by.

Working on Christmas Card #2

I'm moving pretty slow on this one. Sometimes I drag my feet on certain paintings and others just come together almost effortlessly. This one is proving to be in the latter category. Anyway . . . I'm still here . . . and pluggin' along. Thank you for coming by.  Have a lovely day!

Christmas Card #2

I thought you might enjoy looking at these progress shots of my next Christmas card.  I usually do one for us and one for my dad (unless he decides to purchase his at Ocean State Job Lot . . . it's tough to pass up a bargain!)  :)  

Cheers!

What am I thinking?!  I can't say I'm looking forward to winter, but I am looking forward, preparing for my 2015 Christmas cards.  So this is my first design for this year.  My Thursday morning ladies inspired me . . . the "beachy" window was their idea.  I'm so lucky to have such creative students!  

I haven't yet come up with the inside sentiment, but if you'd like more information about getting a jump on the holidays and ordering cards, please email me kkoz517@charter.net.

Progress On My Card Art

I thought you might enjoy seeing all the progress shots so far, in backwards order.  I better hurry up so I can get these printed.  I'm not giving myself much time before they have to go out!  Oh -- and Happy Halloween!  

A Little More Progress

"Holiday Sparkle" - wip

I have a little progress to share on my Christmas card painting.  I also spent a beautiful day today at Old Sturbridge Village taking lots of reference photos for future paintings.  I'm so excited!  If you don't know about Old Sturbridge Village, be sure to check out their site.  "The Village" as many around here call it, has always been a magical place for me ever since I was a little girl.  I hope to visit a lot more in the future -- it's such a lovely place.
