                        I have six holiday cards planned. Here's the beginning of the first of the cards:   |

                        A bit more today:   |

                        A little more work on the tree limbs and the snow that covers them, and I'll be on to the cardinal. I've never painted a bird before.  Of the six paintings, I'm saving my favorite one for last, which has some similarities to this one. We'll see how it turns out...  |

                        One down, six to go. I might tweak it a bit tomorrow, but I'm okay with this for now.   |
