Another Fireplace

Artist's Gallery

Kitty by the Fire

 And, may I present, the next year's version of "the fireplace." Not quite as detailed . . . I wonder why? This is one of those leftover-paint cards that came toegther over several weeks of doing other paintings. That's why there's so much blue around the corners--I wouldn't do that again; it makes the picture feel cold and, well, not cozy or Christmas-y. And the plants look like tropical palm trees, not Christmas greenery. But I really like the wreath and hearth garland, and the cat adds some needed interest. You can just imagine he will be jumping down to play with those yarn balls in a minute!

 

PS: By the way, Happy New Years to all!
