Remembering The Gift-Christmas

Merry Christmas

This painting was originally posted on Christmas of 2011. It just seems to apply to this year...so here it is once more.

I keep our Savior uppermost in my heart.
The true spirit of Christmas is giving and...what you give is Love.
You will receive more back than what you gave...
The wrapped gifts are symbolic...
The true gift is love.

I would like to use this post to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May your brushstrokes flow as though guided from above, and may your fondest dreams come true in the upcoming year.
Thanks to all my blogger friends for all your kind support through the great trail and trial of canvas and paint.
God bless you all.

This is a question for you bloggers. Have you been having problems with the click to enlarge feature on Blogger? Ever since they started the "Shadow Box" a few months ago, my images won't enlarge and it drives me nuts. The "Shadow Box" feature is the black slideshow page that appears when an image is clicked on. Any thoughts on this will be very much appreciated.

Update:12,27,11...Looks as if the problem of enlarging the image is solved, at least with this post...Lol. This "shadow box"-Picasa stuff has got it all messed up. Call me retro if you like. I'd like the good old way back.

Christmas Reflections-Still life

Merry Christmas

To all my blogger friends who mean so much to me throughout the year!

Oil on 5x7 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's DPW's The Reflections On Water Challenge posted by Layne Cook. Her instructions were to paint something showing the many facets of reflections.
If you can't get excited about painting water, paint something else that's reflective (but not a mirror- that's too direct).

After much mulling around of ideas, I came up with Christmas bulbs as the reflector...very timely!
Then I wondered "what to reflect?". Shortly thereafter, a good friend dropped off a few christmasy goodies her sister had baked. Shazaaam!! There was a Christmas tree cookie! Problem solved!
