I've missed my blogging buddies and I've missed writing. I hope everybody is doing well. I admire those of you who have kept blogging. Hooray for you guys! I thought I would post this year's Christmas card. It started out as a desert scene. A friend said I need to do something to tie everything together. She suggested a wash. I couldn't bring myself to do anything for a couple of weeks because I liked it the way it was. I kept looking at it. I decided to make a snowy desert. I had to cheat and use gouache because I hadn't planned on snow in the first place, so I hadn't left any whites.
