Ideas for Christmas Paintings
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Here are some ideas for Christmas paintings.

I love this time of year but the downside is not having enough time to paint as well as get the house Christmas ready. Of course you have to buy and wrap the pressies, decorate the tree and so on.
So it’s a good idea to : 1] Paint Christmas paintings and card designs the year before and then have them printed in time to send this year.

And the second strategy is to recycle artwork from previous years, dust them off and arrange them somewhere different in the house.

Last year, I took part in the Angel Festival of Hoylandswaine church with my art group. I must say, the church looked brilliant – full of beautiful angels.

Do you know , I got so enthused this year that I arranged an angel painting evening at Barnsley and District Art Society. And it was great fun. See more angels in my January post ‘ Mythical Creatures – Including Dragons ! ‘ here

And I did it all before the festive season to cut down on creative stress.
Merry Christmas everyone!
