The fall and Christmas season seems to run like a train on greased rails and ...just like that... it is over. I am enjoying the pace of this week, which for me has slowed considerably. Thanksgiving is such a beautiful holiday full of fond reminiscence and family. What a great start to any holiday season. The Christmas rush was on just after Thanksgiving was over, and I completed three Christmas commisssions in time to send them off to new homes for the holidays. Here are two of those:
The Tudor cottage was great and the second one is a London townhome... such fun to draw. I am looking forward to a new commission in the next few months of a newly built church surrounded by six of its former locations. I am also hanging thirteen of my art pieces at a local hospital's art gallery during the month of January. I am praying for fruit from this show.
One of the most enjoyable times for me during the holidays was seeing my daughter perform with the ballet company she was invited to be a part of at the beginning of the school year. They are one of the two performing groups at her ballet school and are called Immanuel (photo above of their feet). They performed on pointe before several thousand at a local church to "Sing We Now of Christmas" and "Once In Royal David's City." It was a very meaningful time and meant so much to me to see her years of hard work bringing forth such beautiful fruit. I hope that your fall and holiday season was filled with joy and family love.
Wishing all my blog friends a happy, healthy, blessed 2012!
It has been a long time...you were missed, but today you popped up in my favorites...and I was pleased to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteYour drawing are wonderful, and how exciting to see your daughter in the ballet.
Wishing you a marvelous New Year.
