$100. includes shipping
This is one of my Christmas gifts from my dear friend, Birgitta. I know that it contains Belgian chocolates so I am not opening it just yet since it will be tempting. After a few more days of really healthy eating and avoiding sweets, I will begin enjoying it slowly and maybe even sharing it with my family.
This was really fun to paint and thanks, Goran, for the photo!
Quite possibly the very best gift I've ever seen painted! YAY!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, thanks Kelley-that really kicks up my courage to try new things.
DeleteI so appreciate your comments!
Love this! The ribbon is fabulous! Great painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dottie, I found it to be a challenge but I'm always happier when I push myself a little.
DeleteLove your colors and the ribbon is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSusan, thanks for your nice comment. This challenge makes me want to try more new things. I guess I'll never run out of things to paint.
DeleteYou are never going to believe this! You sent a lovely encouraging comment to me yesterday - tonight (I'm in Scotland) I picked your painting from Leslie's blog to look at first as I LOVED it, not realising it was you!!!!!! Well done, it is beautiful! Also well done for not eating the chocolates!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and serendipitous thing to tell me, Margaret! I am so happy that you liked it. I had a few too many sweets over the holidays which I don't usually eat so I am taking it easy. Where are you in Scotland? I have traveled there and it was wonderful and people were so warm and friendly.
DeleteMagnificent - the light on and around this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Claire. I have a shadow box that I made from Carol Marine's directions and it really helps keep the light strong on the subject.
DeleteLove that ribbon!
ReplyDeleteThat was definitely the most fun part of the painting. Thanks, Sherry!
DeleteFay, that ribbon absolutely sparkles! Beautiful! Great to see your work and thank you for sharing your insights with me the other day:-) I love being on this journey with other artists!
ReplyDeleteThe challenge has taught me a lot already. I so appreciate your comments.
DeleteWe are just getting started and have lots of enjoyment ahead with Leslie's many painters.
Hi Fay, your work has caught my eye every day as I look at the thumbnails. Can't wait to see what you paint for the rest of the month!
ReplyDeleteDeb, I appreciate that! I just hope I can keep coming up with new ideas!
DeleteFay, I love your work! Next time you are in Charlotte we must get together and talk shop or paint! I live in far south Charlotte near Ballantyne.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do that Torrie, My son and his family live not far from the Fort Mill exit off 485.
DeleteI'm another one who is here to say this caught my eye on Leslie's blog. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove this. ALMOST too pretty to open. Thanks for your encouraging words to a new artist.
