I was fascinated by the reflections in amongst the surface pattern.

I love Celtic Art and particularly trees. The tree was hand drawn onto fabric, and then embroidered using crystals, stones and beads.

November/December, months of fireworks! This was painted using acrylics paints.

A watercolour painting with a Festive theme, but a bit different from robins, Christmas trees, snowmen etc. Used ultramarine blue, sap green, paynes grey, yellow ocre & burnt sienna. The background was sprinkled with salt.

I made a Christmas painting for my granddaughter. Watercolour with lots of negative painting.

I started painting for a hobby during lockdown and now I am hooked! I wanted to paint something seasonal and Poinsettias are synonymous with Christmas décor and festive cheer.

I have painted the Three Wise Men bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh in watercolour using an iridescent medium. This painting allowed me to relax on a very cold and wet day and brings back happy memories of being a young girl with family celebrating the festive season and singing carols. We Three Kings of Orient Are is a carol that brings a message of hope.

I love painting flowers.

A digital drawing of baubles - I forgot to pack them away at the end of Christmas and saw that they made a nice subject with the reflections in them.

I painted this as it reminds me of poinsettias

This was inspired by last years festive light show at Dunham Massey

In the style of, but not quite there, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

I liked the idea of showing the church in the village where I live (Thornford, Dorset) but I did not want a traditional view, so I positioned it reflected in a Christmas tree decoration. The work uses a mixture of pastels from different manufacturers to support a range of techniques.
