:: December Happenings ::
Last Saturday … the first Saturday after Thanksgiving, the annual Holiday House Bazaar once again opened the doors to start off the Holiday season. This is usually the only event I participate during the year and its always something I look forward to. I love that old friends drop by and I have the opportunity to make new friends. Such fun !
This year the traffic seemed steady from the time the doors opened and vendors were kept busy until the doors closed. Aside from all the many items for sale the community hall (where the bazaar takes place) had a small menu where you were able to buy some soups, sandwiches, salads and coffee.
The fun day was topped off when the two paintings below sold.
The top painting has always been a favorite. This is a very poor photo, but even so, I love the light on the water.
The one thing that I wanted to capture when I painted the two paintings below was the light. Finding a way to paint how I saw a particular moment. Was it a cool day or was it a warm day, where was the sun at? Was the wind blowing … all things that make a painting memorable to me.

Hope your December is going as well as mine is ….
