While looking out of the window, I was amazed how beautiful my small Japanese maple in the backyard looks. In this grey and wet weather - and against the dark fence - the color of the leaves really pops. A wonderful find for this week.
Apart from that the week has been busy - in less than 10 days I'll have my first holiday fair of the season and I'm still in full creative mode. There are two new paintings:
Snowman Family on 6x6 wood panel
Mixed media on 8x8 canvas board
I've also made a few more ornaments from the leftover redwood of our picket fence.
Christmas Cat and Christmas Owl
For the holiday boutique in Ukiah we were asked to donate one item for the silent auction. This little owl mixed media painting on a 5x5 canvas is mine.
I'm linking to both Friday Finds and Paint Party Friday - perhaps you'd like to check them out.

Wishing you much luck in all your endeavors!!!!!
Oh my gosh, the little family of snowmen are too cute for words!! Happy PPF!
The Holiday paintings are wonderful. I was just planning this year's Christmas cards - you are way ahead of me!!
I am LOVING your creativity. And so very glad that you have got some long awaited rain.
I was once told that you can keep things alive (just) by watering them, but if you want them to grow you need rain. And think there is some truth to it.
And I love the scent of rain-washed air.
Love the photo of your maple, and your creations are all wonderful. Good luck with the holiday fairs! Hugs, Valerie
What a fun collection you have created this week.
And so delightfully different from the usual Xmas trends.
How fun Carola! Good luck at the Holiday Art fair.
very nice paintings and the tree looks beautiful!
happy PPF!
Love the little owl!
All of your projects look fabulous.
Your snow person family is so adorable. I love the way you did the shadows so perfectly. And the ornaments are great too. Time for me to get in high gear doing for Christmas, I guess.
What a delightful post.
Northern CA was my home for almost 40 years and oh yes CA really needs rain. Now that I am in the desert, rain is just pure heaven here. Love the little maple.
Love the way that red maple pops off the background. Your art projects are just fantastic-I'm sure you will sell them all!
So glad you are getting rain. The red leaves look so vibrant next to the fence. Beautiful!
You have got so many lovely projects. Your snowmen art look awesome.
Love you Japanese maple, I think my red one is dead, I guess I'll know in the spring. It's a little too hot in the valley for them you have better weather for them. So glad for the rain also, it's about time. I love owls, your little guy is so cute.
Very happy to hear you are getting much needed rain! I enjoy the smell of rain, and it is soothing if it is a gentle rain. Beautiful art work!! Love the owl!
We had a lovely Japanese Maple at our last house. I miss that tree. Your's is so pretty.
Very cute paintings and style!
A stunning photo and wonderful paintings, Carola! absolutely gorgeous!
LOVE the snowmen! So cute! And aren't the colorful leaves great at this time of the year. Enjoying it very much here.
The red leaves look so gorgeous! :)
Lovely art works too, the Snowman Family is so pretty!
I wish I could send you some rain, here in Scotland we definitely get too much of it (about 11 months per year!), and my Italian blood misses the sun so much. Enjoy the weekend.
beautiful photo and lovely work this week!
Nice work! Wishing you luck at your fair. LOVE that Japanese maple against the dark grey of the fence!
I love all your new pieces of art! They are so cute and special!
