Down to the final push

Almost all done and ready for the Arts & Crafts show coming this Sunday (11th of December), it will be held at the RA centre in Ottawa.  Although there has been stressful times until now (not art related), I'm really looking forward to this and it will be nice to see what else will be there.  Plus it will more like "me time" while being there, so that will be nice. 
So this is what I have been working on (and some other things), small acrylic paintings.  First one here is of Rosehip, I took pictures of them during the fall and I think I posted a picture of them back in October.

"Rosehip" acrylic 6" x 6"
  This other one is of a vine that grows all over the place where it can plant its roots, I personally call it stink weed, as it stinks bad when you touch it.  But even as a weed, it has a beauty to it, first these really cute little purple flowers, then purple berries that later turn bright red and the leaves turn purple.  I guess it could be called "Rainbow stink weed".

"Fall Berrie" acrylic 6" x 6"
Here is a new painting of my "Skargarden" series, simple and more primitive way of painting houses but I like painting this way, its relaxing.
"Skargarden, sma hus" acrylic 12" x 7"
And before I leave, I just had to post a new picture of one of my favourite places near our house, I posted a picture earlier (fall picture), this one is from over a week ago when it was snowing a little bit.  Now all gone again and we are back to slush and mud.
And this I saw today while out walking in the forest (we had finally sun today, first time in two weeks),
I was walking up a hill with friend of mine and when we stopped I turned around and saw this.  Its bark from a dead pine tree, and it was glowing like lava as the sun was shining through it.  Stunning colours!!
I wanted to thank you all again for your comments, as always, I just love reading what you write.
I hope all you are enjoying December so far, I cant believe its already the 8th of December and we are only few weeks away from Christmas
(my dear Lindsay reminds me each day by how many days are left and she must have written at least about 100 wish lists that she has put all around the house, just making sure we wont forget). 
And soon, very soon (December 13th) it is Santa Lucia, I cant wait, I just love this time of the year.

So Happy December to all of you!!!
