Merry Christmas

Although I have been painting my little Christmas cards, none are very good this year. I don't feel great about any of them. They are all just "okay." But while working on cards, I tried doing a watercolor portrait. Most of you know that I love portraits, but I have not mastered the watercolor portrait. Earlier this fall, I did one of Abigail that l liked pretty well. I framed it and put it in a little show. About a year ago, I did a little portrait of a friend's grandbaby. It turned out okay, but not exciting. While looking through my photos-to-paint-from, I found the grandbaby picture again. It still intrigues me, so I painted it again. This time I was more pleased with my efforts. It could make a nice Christmas card, but I'm a little late for that. Maybe a New Year's card.

Tomorrow we will have our annual Christmas Eve party and talent show. None of us have any great talent, but it is a fun time. Christmas Day will be spent with different family members. May all of you have a great Christmas!
