P is for Panda, or Paige

I hand-painted Christmas ornaments for all of my coworkers this season.

One of my coworkers, Paige, she loves pandas!

So, of course I would paint a panda on her ornament!

I made it extra special by putting a "P" on it's foot for "Paige"!

Thanks for looking!

Caricature Ornament

I had a special request from a gentleman to paint a portrait of his girlfriend, himself, and two daughters on an ornament for Christmas.

I had never tried anything like this before, but was willing to give it a try!

He was willing to go with more of a caricature portrait, so this is what I came up with:

They loved it!

I am happy with how it turned out and they were too!

They though it was neat to see themselves in somewhat of a cartoon form.

Thanks for looking!

Ribbon Angel

This Christmas, while making ornaments, I wanted to make something special in remembrance of my Papa to hang on the Christmas tree.

My Papa passed away from lung cancer several years ago.

I painted an angel made from a lung cancer ribbon onto a glass ornament.

I made one for myself and also for my mother and sister.

They were very touched by the gesture.

I am happy with the way they turned out and am glad that we now have something special to hang on the tree in remembrance of Papa.

Thanks for looking!

Sock Monkey Ornament

Sock monkeys are cute and make great decorations for anytime of year...

so why not have one on your tree, as a Christmas ornament?!

Here is one that I have hand-painted with acrylics on a glass ball ornament:

I think it turned out adorable!

I kept with the traditional sock monkey colors so that it would be easily recognizable, but you could also change up the color scheme to personalize it.
