I painted this little doll and her doll a long time ago. She was one of the first paintings I did that got into fine detail. She's done on a piece of wood, and is only 5 1/4 by 4 1/2 inches.

It's a beautiful sunny and cold day here. It was 20 below 0 this morning when I got up! But the sun makes up for it - there's nothing as pretty as the sun on the snow, sparkling and new looking.
I'm working on my taxes - yuk !

Well I was working on my taxes...
I wanted to show you some of my favorite gourds.

I've been painting for a lot of years, and time and time again I come back to Santa. He's my favorite subject. I've painted him on gourds (my very favorite) and on windows, and light bulbs and bottles and baskets.....just everywhere.
Hope you like him too.
Ok - back to the taxes...darn.
