Tulips- part of my "small painting series" of flowers

Paintings ideas that can be used for custom Christmas cards

@The copyright of all the images in this blog remains with me, the artist, Glennda Field.  Please do not use images with my permission.



My watercolor class asked for painting ideas that could be turned into a personalized Christmas card.  These are two of the paintings I demonstrated in class. 






"While shepherds watched their flocks..........................................."

 



 

Christmas Present

Christmas Present has elements from two fellow artists whose work I really enjoy.  If you are familiar with Denise McFadden or Bev Jozwiak, both Washington artists, you will notice their two painting techniques in this painting.  Thanks for the inspiration Bev and Denise.


Using suitable colors, a painting title  and perhaps a few added details to tell the story, a Christmas card can evolve from many different subjects.  Here are a few more suggestions



"It's a Marshmallow World "
Jingle Bells.....Jingle Bells

Ho Ho Ho.........Merry Christmas
"For unto you is born this day....A Savior, which is Christ the Lord"


 "Finding the Perfect Christmas Tree"
