Shuffle Off to Buffalo!

I removed the snowman painting from our front window on January 1.  I was wearing a sweatshirt, shorts and sandals.  I know we still have some winter days ahead of us, but I sure would like a long spring.  I like winter in the desert except for the short daylight hours.  I ask Alexa every morning, "Alexa, what time is sunrise?  What time is sunset?"  I've been doing this since December 21 (the shortest day) and I do a little dance with every minute of daylight that I gain.  Here is the winter painting I finished today.  Doesn't the snowman look like he's going to dance?  I may give him some tap shoes:)  I used masking fluid to preserve the white for the snow on the branches of the pines.  I may work on that a little more, but I'm done for now.

A Goose Who Stopped at Sunset Park for a Snack

I took some pictures of some geese who on their way south from Canada.  There were quite a few of them at Sunset Park which is not far from our house.  I decided to paint one of them.

Fun!

I'm going to set this painting aside for a few days to make sure I'm finished.  She was fun to paint.  I don't think I've painted a horse before.  I've painted a deer and a burro, but this is my first horse painting.

Merry Christmas! More from the Bellagio

I wanted to share a few more photos from the Bellagio.

It's magical!

Merry Christmas!

Here is this year's Christmas garden at the Bellagio.  We went three times last week.

The Window Is Finished!

Here is my first Christmas window.  This is a lot of fun!  Try it!

 

It's December!  This is the first time I've painted a Christmas window.  Jim and I are going to paint two more after I finish this one.  This is the front of our house.  I'll post more pictures when we're done.  This is a lot of fun!
