Yesterday the kids dropped by for a tamale lunch and I was busy cooking, but I found a few moments now and then to work in my sketchbook. The tamales were sold as a band fundraiser by granddaughter, Jayna, in Needville, TX. Made by a local band booster and they were delicious!
While still living in our log cabin, we found this distressed copper nativity that fit a very narrow space we had. It seems even more at home here in the barn. We bought a dwarf Alberta Spruce to decorate — that’s it, sitting in Bill’s grandmother’s old milk pail. Later, it will be in a pot on the front porch.
The 25mm Herend flat brush is a Christmas gift from my mom. I saw one used by Maria Coryell-Martin in one of her demos and had been looking for one. Turns out that Amazon now has them, though they come directly from Korea. It’s handmade with chipmunk hair and lays down a smooth wash beautifully. Can’t wait to really play with it.
Dear Vicky!
ReplyDeleteGreat pages, love it.
Have a nice and peaceful Christmas.
Blessings
Thanks, Jana. Blessings to you!
DeleteVicky hope you had a Merry Christmas. Your sketches are so good. I will have to check out the demo with that brush...enjoy the rest of the holidays. Have a Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHi, Debbie! Hope your Christmas holiday is lovely.
DeleteI wish I could find which demo the brush was in — you can see it hanging on Maria’s wall in her studio tour video, but I think she showed using it in a demo featuring the Northwest Demi Palette — and that one is no longer available it seems.
