| Jolly Ole St Nick by Leada Wood © Twas the night before Christmas and all through our house...the children are bouncing and boisterous and storming the house! Christmas Eve is BIG FUN at our home. The clan gathers and makes jolly holiday cheer. There are 24 of us, 13 are children! We are so blessed! This is my painting that my Christmas cards were made from this year. It is a watercolor, 15x22 on rag paper. I had just finished, framed and delivered it to the bank for exhibition when my retina tore in my eye! I also had finished my last commission for the season. I am so thankful that my sight has been restored and I can continue to enjoy the beautiful world around me. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my blog and for following my creative journey. I love reading your comments and hearing from you! MERRY CHRISTMAS! |

| NUTTY TRIO BY LEADA WOOD© I love Christmas! Only a few more days! Ah but it only comes once a year. I can't get enough of that Holiday cheer! Family gatherings...fun with friends...the decorations...the lights...the music...the excitement in the air! I especially love seeing the wonder and joy in the children's eyes. Making Christmas cookies or candy with my grand kids...keeping secrets...Christmas crafts. I guess you can see I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I wish that we could keep that feeling all though the year. Every year I create a special painting to be used as my Christmas card. I collect Nutcrackers and the trio above is from my collection. The Nutty Trio is from a Christmas past but I thought you might enjoy seeing them. I will be posting others along the way. It is a watercolor 15x22 on Arches paper. "I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" Charles Dickens |
