I had a burst of inspiration the week before Thanksgiving and decided to paint my mom and sister some simple Christmas paintings to help decorate their houses for the holidays. I had recently seen a chalkboard style piece with these lyrics - and then a flashbulb went off - and I remembered these paintings I did last winter inspired by Elsie's paintings on A Beautiful Mess. A couple of hours spent watching some old Buffy episodes, and I had a two colorful gifts for two of my favorite ladies. See below for how my sister used it for decorating at her house warming party. And you can visit A Beautiful Mess if you want some guidance in how to make your own. I'm thinking of making one for the winter because that's when I'll really need some cheer in our apartment. My mom suggested part of a Robert Frost poem. I love that idea! I'll be sure to share if I end up creating one.

I looked at other paintings done very similar to yours, and I have to say that yours are much, MUCH better! First of all, your writing is much neater, secondly, you used color for the background that just popped, and C) (LOL) your paintings just flow where the others at choppy & messy. You do awesome work!
