I joined a Christmas card swap over here at Willowing. My partner is Amy Malaise and among the many interesting things about her I decided to create a painting of a Christmas book display inspired by a photo in the internet. She loves books a lot!
Christmas Book Display: Acrylic painting on 5 x 5 watercolor paper
I also painted a bookmark for her with a black cat because she adores them. Now she can read many books at once!
Black Cat Joy: Watercolor and acrylics on cardboard
Painting makes me feel so alive. Imagine finishing 5 paintings! That’s what happened yesterday. I am high! All glory to the Lord! God bless everyone!
