apply New Year everyone, here's hoping that 2012 will be peaceful and happy!
inally got around to painting the last of the angels...thought I would show you the faces as Meredith was asking whether I copied them from anywhere...I paint them from my head, making them up as I go along.....great fun especially when there is all the chaos of the weekend activities going on all around me in the kitchen!
ard to think that I painted these girlies in the scorching heat of the spanish sun...thinking how organised I was going to be for Christmas and my annual production of painted angels.... these rather shabby specimens have no wings yet and don't even look holy...what was I thinking? I think I shall put them back on the shelf and just cut another load out and start again......
annot believe it...it's snowing! The bookies will be going mad betting on a white Christmas! Unfortunately my garden is no Versailles so could not post a decent shot of the sprinkling of white flakes...some (more) angels instead! The lovely watercolour of the robin is what Finlay painted when he was only 7 and as yet is reluctant to repeat this masterpiece...polar bears, reindeers, and owls are begrudgingly painted every December but this is still my favorite!
hese angels are already in transit.....the chocolate in the advent calendar is being consumed....my sewing room resembles war torn Beirut.....dinner tonight is crackers and cheese......and we are all looking pasty and drawn......roll on Christmas!
