Holiday Sunflowers - 9" x 12" - oil on panel by Allan and Marie (top)Wintery Weather Scenes from our Deck (below)
A holiday sunflower wish to you and yours!
Allan and I chose an artistic holiday card this year. Inspired by husband-wife artists, we decided to make a painting together! Allan selected the sunflower theme, based on our summer sunflower garden, and drew the design onto a panel. We took turns painting it. Our strengths compensated for each other's weaknesses, mine being too much fussy detail. All-in-all, we like our painting, had it printed onto a card, and mailed it to our friends and family. Voila.
This week a storm descended on the Northwest. We are snug and safe in our house, with nowhere to go and time to paint! The winter vista is Zhivago-ish in its serenity, but baby it's cold out there! Yesterday I put my car into the ditch. Fortunately there was no damage except a small scrape on my front bumper, in spite of landing just two inches from a city fire hydrant! Thank goodness for the local towing company.
Allan shared on his blog too. Happy Holidays to you and yours! Don't forget my January show:
