A group of us from the area paint together (as I've mentioned before) in Bullard every Tuesday and Friday at the home of Greta Faulkenberry. She has a gorgeous home and decorates "to the nines" for Christmas. So, last week she brought some of her ornaments down for us to play around with and I selected some red ones (or course) to do a mini painting. We don't all paint the same things...just whatever strikes our fancy. She doesn't read our blogs, so she will be surprised when she sees this little painting framed and wrapped and given to her at our Christmas party tomorrow. I've also posted it on Artcolony. This is only 5x7 and was done in an afternoon session, but very loosly painted and was lots of fun. I just love red...obviously!:) As I mentioned in the other blog, it's so affirming when one of your painting friends really admires absolutely everything you paint! Ha!

This painting captures the joy and sparkle of the Christmas season.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always Mollie. I have a few friends who paints I should organize a group. It would bring me back to the paint brushes. Once we stop it's so hard to start over again isn't it. Merry XMas..
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Mollie! and a HAPPY NEW YEAR. I hope we see more of your beautiful paintings to come in 2010. Thanks for posting on my sunflower blog. I feel sure I will be doing more videos in the new year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary, Christiane and Nita. I'm planning on doing more painting and more posting in 2010. You wouldn't believe the huge number of set-up photos that I am wanting to get on paper...just gotta do it instead of working in my gardens (and watching football right now, ha!)
