Regular readers of my blog know that each year I do painting which I use for my annual homemade Christmas card. My painting was finished and the cards printed before I left on my November trip to Mexico. While I was in Mexico, I made out all the cards, and I sent them off around Thanksgiving after I returned home.
This year I did a painting based on a photo from my trip to Norway this summer. The photo is of one of the beautiful fjords of Norway, the Fjaerland Fjord.
I had to use a bit of guesswork as to how the scene would appear in wintertime. I didn't know how much of the steep, rocky mountains are covered in snow. However, I did know from talking to a Norwegian that the deep fjords do not freeze in the winter.
Here is the finished product...
Best wishes to all of my readers for a very happy holiday season!
Feliz Navidad
The first card we received this year, and the most beautiful one we WILL receive. Each year, awaiting Bill's card is as exciting as seeing what Santa will bring! I'm so envious of my cousin's talent.
