Merry Christmas! Two days till Christmas. Christmas commissions are finished and clients have them. Always a wonderful feeling knowing someone will open up a present that I created. Always hoping that they will love it. It can be stressful doing Christmas commissions because I always worry what if I don’t get them done in time? What if they won’t dry? What if some catastrophe happens and I have to start over?! Yikes! So far I have been lucky and thread horrible things have never happened. Knock on wood they never do! I know some artist take the rest of the year off and relax for a week or so, but I don’t. Not that a couple of days wouldn’t be nice, but o have my brick and mortar building so I really need to be there. You never know when someone might want to commission or buy a painting. And I have students who will be coming in for their lessons. Working on my 5th faerie design before I start my new commission. I have promised myself in-between commissions I will work on my faerie line! Otherwise I will never get to work on them. and the next commission will take me awhile to paint. But for now I have the next two days off! Family time, of not relaxing time, 🤣 Making homemade cinnamon rolls and coffee bread for Christmas morning! They will take all day tomorrow to make! But so very worth it! May you all have a Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!!
