Hi! I hope you are enjoying the magic of the holiday season! Angie will be flying to Buffalo on Christmas Eve to spend Christmas with her Dad and his family so we are celebrating Christmas a day early here. I took a break from shopping and wrapping presents to paint in my art journal.

I've been having so much fun trying new techniques and learning various strokes with my paintbrushes and oil paints. I'm discovering a whole new world of art and artists as I'm searching to develop my own style. I recently discovered the uber talented artist Nancy Medina and I really admire her style of painting still life florals. Just what I've been looking for! Nancy shares a few free tutorial videos on YouTube and she sells a variety of how to videos on her website which I asked Santa Claus for. Santa knew I've been a good girl because I received a UPS confirmation email that the videos are due to arrive tomorrow!!! :) My naked walls are going to be so happy to have some colorful artwork hanging on them in 2016! Here's my take on Nancy's YouTube How To Paint a Tulip video:

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday ~ God Bless!
Thanks so much for stopping by ~ Be Sweet ;)
