When I first started this blog, I displayed a bunch of wonderful towel animal art introduced to me by my sister-in-law, Mary Lou, when she and my brother-in-law were on a cruise. I was completely blown away and delightedly shared the images. Then I found out the hard way about image limits and what happens when you delete what you think are old images, and lost the whole section.
I found some new images yesterday, again smiling like an idiot every time I find another one, so I’m going to start that section again and share them with you. :0)

I love gourd art! It seems that the sky is the limit on what one can do with them. I can’t decide if I like the brightly colored and highly varnished ones best, or the ones that combine carving and painting – giving the gourd wonderful texture – or ones that have been completely cut out and then painted. I simply drool when I see the creativity and talent that goes into these!

I hope the girl will read to the dog.
I want to pet this sweet dog and make him smile.

I’m a bit disappointed that I’m not going to try to make sugar cookies for the first time this year. I have what a I think is a really good recipe from a friend, plus cookie cutters I had ordered online, plus some icing in different colors. THEN we learned my husband has diabetes…
Neither of us NEEDS sugar cookies, so I’ll wait and try the cookies at another time when we can split ONE and then give the rest away.
Meanwhile, I found some pictures of some online that I absolutely love and wanted to share them with you.
I know a company who makes flat wooden designs. I’m thinking I’ll try to order some of their Christmas designs and then try to paint them to look like cookies for next year. I’m also thinking it would be fun to create some Christmas cards and other things using these ideas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I love the glorious color in this one, plus the LIGHT. Just beautiful!
The softness of this one appeals to me. I want to reach out and pet the dog. I’ll bet his skin would be warm from sitting in the sun.

I love the color in this and the starkness of the trees versus the lush sunset and water.
This little guy just melted my heart. Great choice of subject, plus real talent in making him come to life.

I love the softness of this one, and the contrast between the detailed painting and the merely suggestive.
I had a visceral reaction to this painting. I simply melted and said, “Awwwww!” inside.

I love the way this artist has gone from an almost pointillism technique for the lion’s head to a free form, glorious color watercolor!
