Christmas Ornaments

I love painting Christmas Ornaments.  Not that I have a ton of time.  Between work, and taking care of mom, housework and computer play, I find that getting really down to painting is sometimes down right difficult.  But I do love painting Christmas Ornaments! 

This Candy Cane Oval Ornament was the very first item I went off on my own and painted back 4 years ago.  It was fun to do and not too hard for a newbie.  Of course this is not THE one I did back then.  I keep that one for myself as a gage of my painting journey.  I've painted several of these since then and I still think they are awesome!

While I think the Candy Cane is pretty and traditional, This Snowman Mitten Ornament designed by Jamie Mills-Price is just so darned cute!!  I love Jamies designs! So Whimiscal - so cute!  Although I still find the eyes challenging.  Does anyone else have trouble perfecting them???   I have a bear of Jamies that I'm working on now that is turning out really nice.  I'll try to get a picture of it up tomorrow and then again when it is complete.

I'm also painting a number of ornaments for Christmas party favors for my Painting Chapter, The Village Painters, Plymouth, Michigan.  They are all Jamie Mills-Price designs.  Should be great looking tables this year. The centerpieces are also Jamies designs.  There is such detail, but totally worth it in my opinion!

Well off to hopefully get some painting done tonight!
