Hello.
This is quick update to share my newest painting collection. When I first started painting mini 4x4s. I only did hearts and pumpkins. I felt that Christmas was not my holiday. Friends asked me about holiday paintings but I didn't do anything. A business associate asked me about holiday paintings and I was hesitant, but I gave it a shot with mini reindeer. I really love reindeer, so paint what you love, right! Then I painted a mini green poinsettia for myself as a test. I left it up in my place not really thinking about holiday work anymore. Then for my 100 Day Project I painted a poinsettia. I felt it came out beautiful, but still Christmas was not my holiday. My friend came by and bought some paintings and fell in love with the poinsettia from the 100 Day Project and I showed her my mini green poinsettia painting and that I had been unsure about Christmas work. At first I felt my reindeer didn't come out good. I was convinced they looked like a dogs wearing antlers. Even though I shared my reindeer with friends and the public I was not feeling solid about it all... could this be imposter syndrome? My friend bought the 100 Day Project poinsettia and encouraged me to paint mini poinsettias. So I did; two collections. The first are mini 4x4 paintings. They came out great and I practically sold out of the small batch I made. There are only six left for sale. You can grab one at Co Op California Boutique in Edison Park. My reindeers also began selling and my fears began to deplete. So maybe Christmas is becoming my holiday. This all brings me to my next poinsettia collection. I am thrilled with these gorgeous red and green florals with wonderful texture. There are only six, 10x10, acrylic on canvas paintings. Hurry to grab one for you and a loved one.
