From the Artist: "This is my 2003 Christmas card. It is an 11x14 watercolor that I will reduce and print out on some card stock for this year. This is the third year I have made my own Christmas cards. It is my husband and I standing in front of one of the restored 'three sisters' lighthouses at the Cape Cod National seashore. The other two do not have lights. I can remember them as cottages when I was a child."
From the Painting Guide: To me this card symbolizes what Christmas should be about – very personal and having special meaning. Peg's friends who receive the card may not know of her childhood memories of the lighthouses and perhaps not even recognize the two figures as her and her husband, but they will know that Peg painted the picture herself and made the time to create the cards specially. It's far too easy to get caught up in the frenetic pace and consumerism of this time of year and forget that (religion aside) it's about how important family and friends are.
