But, in a good way! I was painting in the LTS journal and wanted to design my own Christmas card again this year, so I hit on the happy idea of using green and trees… and cut out a couple of stencil shapes to use on the palette knifed background!
Fits in nicely with The Three Muses challenge “Back to nature…”, this week:
O Christmas tree(s)!
It’s my usual concoction of acrylic paints, Neocolours and a palette knife… as you can see in this detailed shot:
