But when it comes to my artwork, I'm letting it all hang out this week!
First, an exhibit of most of the original art from What Think Ye of Christmas just opened at Provo Art and Frame. It will be up for the rest of the month, with a reception and book/print signing on December 2nd.
Among the framed originals you'll see there are:
And because my friends there aren't taking a standard gallery commission, I'm able to sell them all at a 30% discount. I LOVE being able to pass that savings on to you!I'll also have gorgeous giclée prints of twelve of the paintings on display and available for purchase at the Salt Lake Family Christmas Gift Show this weekend. These are identical to the originals at a fraction of the cost. I'll be signing books and prints there Friday afternoon and evening and most of the day Saturday. We have a great offer on the books: Buy Four, Get One FREE (cash only) and free autographing. The author will be there too.
And, because I know you can't resist a sneak peek, I just entered these two paintings in a regional show (the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies, hosted in Las Vegas next spring).

(Mary Ellen, I haven't forgotten that I owe you one too, and I have it for you now. Yay!)

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Book Bomb yesterday. We succeeded in taking Rob's book, Variant, from number 6,000-and-something to number 57! In just 24 hours! Big win! I also have a winner of the book I illustrated, What Think Ye of Christmas. Today's winner — first giveaway of the season — is Janice West. And I know she truly loves the book. She bought one last year -- and then came back and ordered ten more! Hopefully she'll find a good use for this copy as well.

I love them ALL. But I think that "While Shepherds Watched" is my favorite at the moment.
Oh, and I reposted on Facebook and tweeted!
They're all gorgeous, as Luisa said. But I can see myself hanging "Consider the Lilies" on the wall all year long and being inspired every time I look at it.
(Facebooked!)
"Carolling, Carolling!" is definitely my favorite. I have adored it since the first time you ever posted it.
I reposted on FB.
How fun! The one I would want in my home for Christmas is "While Shepherds Watched." I love the spirit of that painting.
Must I pick?
I think I'm actually leaning towards "Consider the Lilies". Today anyway. That might change. :)
Posted on Facebook. Love you!
It's cruel to ask me to decide. I want them all. ALL! So these are the four I love most:
While Shepherds Watched
Consider the lilies
Whose woods these are
Soaring Peace
I think I'd have Whose Woods up all year long. And gaze at it and think of beautiful poetry, beautiful people (you), and wonder at your gifts.
(Facebooked it but encouraged people to stay away because I want this all to myself. Go away people!)
Yay! Thanks for the reminder!
I'll have to pick it up when I'm back in town--I'm heading to our old CA stomping grounds for a couple of weeks.

They are all so beautiful. But my favorite is the picture of the Christmas lights. My husband collects antique lights and our tree is ablaze each season with hundreds of old lights. It makes me smile!
