For the last few years my annual Christmas card has been derived from modifying one of my old "cow" paintings in Photoshop. Basically transforming a pastoral scene into a winter landscape. I thought this year, in addition to creating hard copies to be sent via snail mail to family and friends, I'd also post it here on my blog, as a sort of "e" card to everyone who has taken the time to visit and comment in 2007. Thanks again everybody. I hope you all have a happy holiday season. Oh and, Merry Christmooooooooos!
And a very Merry Christmas to you and your family James. Thanks for taking the time this year to share with us your beautiful work. It has led to much inspiration in my own.
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmooos card. Hope you and Karen have a Merry Christmas too.
ReplyDeleteI loved the card, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Thank you for your beautiful e-card. I have enjoyed all your beautiful paintings and am happy to see that you and Karen are doing so well at the galleries.
ReplyDelete...and a Happy Moo Year! (couldn't resist). All amazingly gorgeous and striking pieces. Do you do any figurative work? If you can put that much expression in a cow's eyes I'd love to see what you do with people!
ReplyDeleteJames, I really enjoy seeing the fruit of your amazing technical skill! I know it is a challenge to make ordinary everyday things magical and quite easy to for that magic to fade in this genre. Yet you always do it well.
ReplyDeleteBut I love that Christmas card.....like to see you do more of that!
Very cool
ReplyDeleteSeasons Greetings, hope 2008 will be a great year for you and Karen.
