I love to paint, and I love to decorate. Creating small paintings for the holidays use both of my favorite activities. They can be placed in holders used for decorative plates, small paintings, or photos. I came up with a collection for Halloween and Christmas, and created YouTube videos of the process.
For this painting, I used my favorite texture mediums and paints. Change up the paints as you wish. Use your favorite colors.
