I don’t know any of you personally but I definitely feel connected to very many of you.
This forum is such a positive place , full of genuinely good , sincere people.
There is real friendship and support here and I for one get so much inspiration from the artists here.
It makes me want to keep painting and keep improving.
Happy Christmas everyone , and I hope Santa brings lots of ‘arty’ presents this year !

Suggest a complementary green background. The white objects at the top corners are distracting, would suggest removing them, and moving the subject off-center for better composition. Less diffuse lighting would improve the portrait.
Just having fun. Happy Whatever-offends-you-the-least everyone!
I’m so glad I haven’t offended anyone
(Maybe an Xmas challenge would have been fun)
Very Christmassy.
Not long to go now
I’m sure your family and friends must look forward to your card each year.
Merry Christmas
Thank you for all your support and help with my paintings this year
That’s a definite date !
Come for lunch soon.
Happy Christmas to you and family.
I wish everyone well and to have a happy holiday time this Christmas. I really envy those of you that have painted pictures for gifts for friends and family. The New Year looks brighter in many respects. I hope that proves true for all of you. God Bless.
Merry and blessed Christmas everyone. I hope to join you more often in the New Year, this community is very special. Have a wonderful holiday, everyone!
