Well we made it to Christmas! It has been a tough year, for sure, but we are all making the best of the situation. I get to meet my new Grandkitty today. Today’s post is the stocking that was supposed to be posted on the 11, but John and I liked it so much thatContinue reading “Merry Christmas 2020!”

Christmas Art Countdown – Day 24
Merry Christmas Eve! We’ll be enjoying our 7 fishes meal today! Here’s what I wish for this holiday and for 2021. Tune in tomorrow to see this year’s Christmas Card.
Christmas Art Countdown – Day 23
This is my dove that I did using as a mono print. Then I scanned it into Procreate so I could tweak it slightly and play with the lettering. I have several different lettering versions but my husband liked this one best.
Christmas Art Countdown – Day 22
I don’t know why it is but this time of year, especially since I have gotten older, I crave things with peppermint. I take my supplements, especially in the winter, but I can’t seem to get enough of the minty stuff around Christmas. I am fond of mint chocolate chip ice cream year round, though,Continue reading “Christmas Art Countdown – Day 22”
Christmas Art Countdown – Day 21
ANNNNDDDD we’re in the homestretch! Day 21 is ‘present’ and fortunately for me I had a bunch of this little guys all cut out and ready to go for another project so I popped them on the scanner and “VOILA”, Day 21 is done!
Christmas Art Countdown – Day 20

(And to catalog said sketchbooks, of which I have not done yet, so you know where to find stuff…) I haveContinue reading “Christmas Art Countdown – Day 20”
Christmas Art Countdown – Day 19
This is another reinvented piece from 2018. I am really excited how I can take images from my sketchbooks and recreate them using the digital tools. The snow in this one looks so much more alive.
Christmas Art Countdown – Day 18
This Angel is a new improved version of one I did back in 2018. I was going to start from scratch but I have sketchbooks full of stuff so I pulled this one out for an upgrade. The original version had glittery gold paint for the halo and a few other tricks that I canContinue reading “Christmas Art Countdown – Day 18”
Christmas Art Countdown – Day 17
I love poinsettias at this time of year. I started out with the red until I found other varieties like the splashed white, and the pale red ones. Several years ago I discovered the pink ones. There were so many different versions of the pink ones, too. The “hotter” the pink, the better. Last year,Continue reading “Christmas Art Countdown – Day 17”
Christmas Art Countdown Day 14
The prompt is “sing” and every time I see the word “sing,” I think of the New Year’s Eve performance of My Chemical Romance. Maybe we all need to sing, for the WHOLE WORLD. Sing it from the heart, sing for the planet, sing for all species, sing for the whales and the manatees, singContinue reading “Christmas Art Countdown Day 14”
