Get Crafty – For Christmas

Why not use your painting skills to make gifts, tags, or ornaments for Christmas?  Handmade gifts mean so much more because your friends and family know you had to spend a little more time on them and that thoughtfulness is always appreciated.

The decoration shown is on a ready made packaged wooden ornament found at a craft store. I prepared it with a layer of gesso and finished with a coat of spray gloss. These can be enhanced in a hundred different ways. Here is one idea with photos of the process.

The other pictures are small paintings I’ve done on canvas with a Christmas theme.
