Home for the Holidays!

I've really been having fun getting a head start on the holiday season by painting some small oils.  I try to extend this season as long as I possibly can, trying to fit in every event that embraces the holidays.











I had to add the bag of gold coins that I found every year in my stocking-- I would be so excited to have chocolate so early in the morning, only to find it very disappointing-- they would be almost white in color and looked a few years old.  I still can't walk by them in a store, though, without buying that little mesh bag!  Maybe I can trade them in at a Cash for Gold store!



The kisses, on the other hand, I love to eat....I've gone through an entire large bag of kisses while painting, perhaps I should consider painting yogurt or fresh fruit next.





What do you remember getting in your stocking?  Maybe I'll paint that next!

These are beautiful - and all those reflective surfaces - WOW! I think we will have to do some Hershey's Kisses in class... don't you think? The frames are great, too!
