Christmas Tree

Leslie White, that wonderful painter and teacher friend of mine, shared this with me when I asked her. I love the simplicity of the Christmas scene. My plan was to make my Christmas Cards from this image this year. Well, I’m running out of time, so I will share it with my readers, instead.

You can visit Leslie at: Lesliepaints but be warned, you will get hooked on her paintings and teachings.

Thank you, Leslie, for so much this past year!

  • WOW! Thank-you, Kate! This little soul of a tree is still standing! I watered her, dutifully, during that horrid dry spell we had this summer. She lost more of her bark but the tree service said it is what she is sluffling off and showed me her growth and repair beneath it. I'm hoping, though stunted, that she will live for many years to come.
