Well the holidays are right around the corner. And, though I am always the first to be disgusted by the Christmas decor around Halloween, as an artist I only have a small window of time to prepare my holiday cards and get them ready for printing.
This year I thought I'd involve you to participate. I have this lovely banner but the card is deinitely lacking. Be the first to guess the proper prop that's missing and I will send you a free packet of printed cards! Good luck!
It will be a Ruby Throated Hummingbird...will he have a santa hat on??? I have no idea!!! But he might be carrying a present with red ribbons streaming off behind!!!
Oh Paula! You have such trust in me! LOL! (Some day I'll have to show you my trash bin filled with rejects!)I'll post again tomorrow and keep you in suspense only one day more...
Mmmm...now why didn't I think of that before? If I were you Kay, I could trash my original idea and then start anew in a flash...Alas...I know my limitations and calla lillies will have to grace a future piece. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks gals! Well...today is the day I reveal the answer...And yes! It's hummingbirds! Janie was the first to guess correctly so she gets the prize! (She's so fast!)
Doris, it's so nice to hear from you! I often wonder how you are doing with your beautiful family and painting career and all! Here in the USA we tend to corrupt the English language somewhat so the phrase is often not "Happy New Year's Eve!" but "Happy New Year's!" Your English is just fine and I continue to be impressed with your ability to speak TWO languages fluently!
I grew up in culturally diverse San Francisco Bay Area and indulged in all forms of creative venues varying from music and dance to rich visual treats at museums.
I earned a BFA in Graphic Design at CCA and relished in the fine arts and design courses offered there. I graduated just before the dawn of computer graphics applications and have always felt blessed to be one of the last students taught the disciplines of exacting, hands-on skills required of the pre-computerized field. We were trained to apply strict adherence to detail and almost Zen-like focus on precise execution. This disciplined arts oriented ideology has influenced my approach not only to what I do in the studio but to life in general.
Of course, I have learned computer graphics applications since. I would be deceiving myself if I didn’t embrace one of the most amazing and flexible tools available to the modern day artist/designer. I only hope my work reflects that of carefully thought out artistry and evokes sentiments of beauty and balance as good design is meant to do. Hopefully my passion for thought provoking art coupled with love of the outdoors brings you visual contentment and joy.

Maybe a rich colored background with starts twinkling all over. I think it needs some glitz:)) But it is gorgeous!!
stars not starts:)
Ahhh...but Carrie...the finished card is behind the curtain. This is but a shadow! LOL! Thanks for dropping by gals!
A hummingbird. Hope I can post this-I am either visually or computer impaired!
Okay, my second guess is a cardinal! Whatever it is Will be beautiful!

Your lovely design is vertical, thus I think a tall white cally lily intertwined (or more than one) would be elegant and exquisite.

Well whatever it is behind the curtain will be gorgeous :) Perhaps an Anna's humminbird ringing in the holidays with Christmas bells?
I guess my two cents wasn't enough. It disappeared. I said....I agree with Janie about the hummingbird, but added a bell for donging and dinging.
Hi Mary, my english is not so good. But I am missing a word there, like Eve (behind New Year's), to make the sentence perfect. Is it that?
Of course whatever you will have there, your decor is fantastic.
