Merry Christmas


Happy Thanksgiving to all whom celebrate! Today I have a few projects to share. First up is a Christmas card featuring a trio of fun houses from the PTI Love Lives Here stamp set:
 along with a sentiment from the  PTI Love Lives Here: Holiday stamp set:
Up next is a 12" x 12" oil painting that I painted for an assignment on perspective. This was my attempt at painting a still life from a looking up perspective:
I'm entering my card in the following challenges:
for color inspiration: Inspired by All the Little Things:

I'm entering my painting in the Paint Party Friday site:
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)

    Love the sketch & what a perfect way to use it, Mona! Wonderful Christmas card! I do admire your paintings & this one is lovely with the beautiful pitcher behind that gorgeous flower! Wishing you & your family a wonderful Thanksgiving. Holidays are always a little sad thinking of those no longer here & yet we have so much to be thankful for. Sending hugs, Greta

    Your card is delicate and beautiful, and your painting is fabulous Mona... you've certainly captured the 'looking up' perspective perfectly.

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Your card is fabulous. Love those sweet houses. Your painting is amazing! I don't think I could EVER sketch/draw/paint something from a "looking up" perspective. You have more talent in your little finger than I do in my entire body!
