From the Artist: This is the third year that I have made my own Christmas cards, and hope to do so for a long time. I chose one of my photos of the strong, yet elegantly beautiful Lipizan horses for the project. I used pastels on blue Canson paper. For completion I decided the simple addition of the holly would be just enough to create the mood of the season

From the Painting Guide: I agree, the little sprig of holly immediately sets the season, without overwhelming the subject of the card. I hope your friends and family have the sense to be collecting your beautiful cards from one year to the next!

Create special memories with seasonal crafts, party ideas, recipes and winter activities.
