CHRISTMAS EVE

Both these pictures were done this summer. The winter scene, oil on canvas, is based on a photo I took in January, and the summer scene, from a different perspective, is based on plein-air viewing. I have used the snow scene for our Christmas card.

The Art Nouveau watering can is a drawing I did in pastel during the summer.

Still life with brass watering can

I thought it might be acceptable to reprise my old reading of T. S. Eliot’s ‘The Journey of the Magi ‘.

Happy Christmas!

      Can’t see photos either. Check your photo settings — something is amiss.

    Just wondering how you are surviving Brexit and the virus – such a terrible double punch. Now that it’s impossible to conceal from the rest of the world that my own country is completely on the ropes, we are all just waiting, over here, for the inevitable meltdown in our crazed Fuhrer, which could be worse for the whole world than COVID-19. I hope that this finds you well and able to celebrate Easter and spring. Still enjoying the posts and past performances: you are such a gift to the world, Edward. I would also like to know how to order Slim Chances – I haven’t been able to access order forms from the website. God bless you!
