Several years ago, I decided to paint Christmas cards and send them to friends and family.
It takes a while to create 50 original paintings so I usually start before Thanksgiving. This year, each one is created by drawing circles in the shape of a tree and then painting with metallic watercolors in each of the circles. I haven't decided whether to paint a star at the top but probable will. Last year, my nephew said "This is the first and only Christmas card I got this year and it's hanging on my fridge!" I guess the tradition of sending "real" cards through the mail is winding down as greetings are now send electronically. Or not at all. I have learned over my lifetime, that things that go out of favor always come back. So I will be one of the people that will cling to my "traditions" and hope, someday, they will come back again. Happy Thanksgiving and looking forward to Christmas!

Dear Carol, so glad to see that you are enjoying time in your studio again. Love all of your work, but the weavings are especially lush with contrast and color! You go, girl!
