Christmas memories

Cant believe that Christmas is almost over and a new year is just around the corner. It has been a very busy Christmas for us, lots of entertaining, cooking and celebrating and it has all been great fun... But I'm beat, I need a holiday, time to relax... And I want this time to come back, it went by far too fast. And on top of everything, Mr B is fighting a nasty flu, our daughter had a bad cold and I have had a very hard time with my joints again (stiffness and aches). I have tried to draw and paint, but nothing really looks the way I would like it to look... But here they are. Top one is a sketch of tree candle clips.

This painting is in my Moleskin book (2 pages) of birds. My favourite Christmas/winter bird is the Bullfinch (Domherre in Swedish) and I was so excited yesterday when I found out the English name for it. I so miss that bird (never seen them here), and along with it I drew our different Christmas bird ornaments that we have collected through the years. We get a new bird for each year (some are gifts), be it silver, glass, ceramic, wood or fabric, they all hold great Christmas past memories and traditions.

Now, I'm sorry for the poor pictures (darn my camera), but its the best I can do at time being (oh how I wish I had a scanner)...

I made a small painting (again in the Moleskin book) of our Christmas stockings, I made them last year and that was one sewing project I really enjoyed and might even try it again one day.
And that's it for my Christmas drawings and paintings for this year, now I have to start working on some art for two shows coming up. And its time to get ready to ring in the new year, wow 2011, just imagine... I really hope that all of you will have the most wonderful year ahead of you, that you will create wonderful new works or art. Wishing you all Happy New Year, good health, great blessings and good cheers.
