I suddenly realised our monthly markets need to be NOW stocked with Christmas goodies, the next one being this very Sunday!
I got to work and painted an original painting which I've called "Christmas Expectations" the original measures 8 x 10" (20 x 25cm) wouldn't you think this would be a quickish one to paint, but no it took me ages to complete, I must say I enjoyed every minute of working on it. You can see it all finished on my easel above.

Now I thought to myself ..... better look in the linen cupboard for some sort of Christmas prop to use in my photos, I found these lovely Vintage Place Mats / Napkins? I do remember a few years ago I was going to toss them out, awh but thank goodness I didn't, I think I may have quite a few of them stashed away, they are lovely
