Dreaming of an Old Fashioned Christmas

(Thomas Kinkade)

A crackling fire warms little toes after an afternoon of winter play...

As villagers share warm hellos beneath a brilliant, twilight sky.

(Thomas Kinkade)

Carols are sweetly sung and laughter is shared...

(1800s Happy Christmas)

As wide eyes gaze in silent awe upon the beauty of Christmas splendor.

(The Vintage Village)

Snowflakes float with feathery softness and sparkle with ethereal light...

As rosy cheeks warmly glow in eagerness and effortless joy.

Charming shops display their Christmas wares along cobblestone streets...

(Keith Melling)

And sleepy little towns awaken and rejoice as the church bells toll.

(Thomas Kinkade)

Treasured moments are etched in time down a quiet, country lane...

(Carole Fowell)

As neighbors gather to celebrate the magic and wonder of the season.

(Thomas Kinkade)

Until the enticing glow of candlelight draws each one home...

On this entirely enchanting Christmas Eve.

May each of you experience the simple bliss of an Old Fashioned Christmas this year...

Appreciating Art from the Inside Out

Great ART speaks your language, echoes your emotions, touches your soul...

ARTWORK is an expression of personal creativity.  My paintings are displayed throughout our home, this particular canvas being a family favorite.

An incredible piece of ART deserves a place of honour in a room.  The furniture and accessories should enhance it's beauty, without competing for attention.

Well chosen ARTWORK breathes life into a space;  a discernible energy, molded by magnificent waves of colour and light.

A canvas painted with fluid layers and contrasting depth infuses a space with movement and light.

 

A truly extraordinary piece of ART appears multidimensional, evoking a sense of oneness with the painting.

A single, over sized canvas is powerful and provocative, and when properly showcased, becomes the personality in the room.

ARTWORK creates drama, stirs deep emotions and memories, and captures the essence of the artist's intent.

ART draws the eye through a space, stimulating a curiosity for deeper exploration of what lies beyond.

With its amazing ability to tell a story,  ARTWORK fuels the imagination with fantasies of seductive tales, secretly hidden within its depths.

Do you own a special piece of ART that speaks to your soul and touches your heart?
