Tree Getting!

A new picture! Not "Ella"-related, but I think it's kind of cute.

From left to right: me, Mom, Dad, sister, dog.

While we were Christmas-tree hunting—or, I should say, after we had found our tree and were headed back to the car—my Dad, my sister, my dog, and I were all lined up more or less just like this, and I thought, "This would make a really nice painting." Later, I sketched this at work and then much later scanned it and went over it in Photoshop. When I learn how to paint with watercolors, maybe I'll make a nice background of the tree farm and color in the people in Ps, and then it will be just how I envisioned it!

Knowing me, that is extremely likely to happen.

  2. I love all the little details! Like you with the saw, your mom's earmuffs, and the pocket on Celeste's jacket! It's super adorable. =)

  6. This is one of my favorites - ever. I DO think you need to do what I always suggest and send it as a Christmas card. Please? Someday will you do handdrawn Christmas cards? Pretty please?

    1. Okay! I promise: one day, I will do hand-drawn Christmas cards! Maybe by December I'll have colored this one. :)
