40 Years of Painting Christmas 1 of 2

Forty Years of Painting Christmas!

Christmas...the most Beautiful Season of the Year!
Christmas time has always been simply "Magic" to me!
The heavy snows, the smells in the kitchen, crafting, puzzles,decorating, snow forts, 
snow camping, outdoor fires, moonlit walks, and friends and family.
My art career has also provided me over the years a place to share my love for the
"Magical" Christmas Holiday!
I have created many Christmas & Holiday Paintings.
In 2019 I will be "Celebrating 40 Years" of my Art Career!
I want everyone to SHARE in the CELEBRATION!
Below I have selected a few of my FAVORITE Holiday Pieces.
Each one is truly unique and filled with detail 
&
My Love of the Christmas Season!

The first is called: "Whose Woods these are I think I know"!
A winter hike in the forest you discover it is filled with life!
Animals scurry looking for food and shelter from the next storm.
The birds play in the bushes trees as a large snowy owl creates 
a snow avalanche from one of the large ponderosa pines.
A coyote stops and listens for the mouse he has been tracking.
If you look closely you can see more than 32 animals hidden 
within the painting. 
The original painting is currently available.

"I Wish We Were Invited"
In 1996 I decided to make a change in my art career.
I just love wildlife, humor, and nature.
So, I created the painting below. 
The bunnies are so disappointed that they were not invited!
The chipmunks are delighting in Christmas Cheer!
The painting went to the Los Angeles Gift Show...
I waited for the reaction from my sales reps...and the public's reaction was wonderful!
750+ prints sold at that show!
Soon afterwards my chipmunk character "Ms. Elizabeth" was created!
So you can say...the painting below changed my career!
