    Welcome to our Seasonal challenge for the end of this year.

    I do hope many of you will take this on – you could end up with something practical for the Seasonal decorations!

    Few rules –

      [*]Any medium, any size
      [*] Any crop of reference – your own reference if you wish
      [*] Any discussion but no showing your work – yet!
      [*] Reveal day is any time from 20th.

    You may need to gather some pieces, or, if making a 2D piece use the images I’m including and maybe add some of your own!

    Take one or more of these …….
    Christmas roses (hellebores) (all free-usage from Pixabay)

    Add some of these ….
    Red berries from the RIL


    Sundiver


    WithrLady larger


    Charlie’s Mum – larger

    … then some greenery – (also in the RIL)


    DominicM – larger


    TeAnne – larger


    Yabby – larger

    Charlie’s Mum – larger

    … and then add a little festive ’glitter’


    Dewi – larger


    Dewi – larger


    mlou jhu – larger

    …….. put them all together to make a Christmas Posy! It can be 3D, an actual posy … or 2D, a painting/ink/pastel etc.

    I shall put all the posies together for our Christmas Greetings to the forum!

    (Sorry I can’t add smilies as we have 15 images above – but please add any images you might think we could use … like gold or silver beads, red baubles, gold pine cones etc!)

    Happy Christmas creating everyone!

    Cheers, Maureen

    For those of you living downunder, you may wish to substitute one of your own Christmas flowers for the hellebore – that’s OK!:lol:

    Happy Christmas Creating!

            Hi Maureen and everyone – I’m back online… partially. We are still waiting on a Landline phone and the Internet to be installed in our new house. Apparently there’s problem with it but they MAY be there this week to install it.

            In the meantime I’ve had my cellphone fixed so I can post with it but time’s limited on it. I won’t be able to paint for the Challenge this month but looking forward to seeing everyone’s efforts!

            I’m also looking forward to getting back into art as soon as I can. I found I had multiple huge cartons of art materials to pack and unpack when we moved….so can’t wait to use them again! :grouphug:
