I thought it might make sense to try a boat painting with some lights ... for those of you that haven't seen the Newport Beach Christmas boat parade ... it is really fun and quite festive! So, even though this boat probably does not have enough lights to compete with the other decorated boats in the parade ... you can get the idea here.
And oh yeah ... Happy almost Halloween!

"Getting Ready"

Oil, 6" x 6" on canvas panel.

$200 unframed.

I need to paint some holiday paintings to get ready for client Christmas cards, gifts, etc. so I thought this might be a good start ... of course now all I want to do is turn on Christmas music and start baking! Perhaps I should have tried a Halloween painting first!
But at least I am starting these early so I will have time to print cards, gift tags and all of my other fun ideas for the holidays ... watch for more to come!

It is too hot to do anything in Los Angeles today. It is almost 100 degrees outside and my house is full of Christmas decorations ... including a fresh Christmas tree. Why you ask? We are filming a Hallmark commercial at my house this week. Five rooms in my house are covered head to toe in decorations, my master bedroom has been transformed into a little girls room and every window is blacked out to make it look like nighttime. Ah ... the magic of Hollywood.
I have been hiding upstairs in my studio and office all day ... trying to stay out of the way. So I painted something as far from Christmas as I could imagine. Bah humbug ...
