Thank you so much! This impressionistic kind of painting is my favorite-and these large ornaments are so much easier to paint than the small regular size tree ornies. I am really into faux finishes as a background-so combining flowers and marbelizing gives me combined pleasure.
Paint hugs,

Jan, Thanks for the comment. I love making these each year. My mom takes them home to Florida and brings me shells from the east coast. Hugs,

Thanks Jan
The odd thing is , that I am relatively inexperienced with pastels. This just seemed to 'jump' onto the paper. I don't know the gentleman , but the body language caught my attention.

Thanks, Jan! There's nothing like bringing a smile to your 12 year old's face!!!!
