A glorious sight all season long.
It is a wonderful life.
Live in the moment.
Celebrate your blessings.
Share the joy.
Addendum: I had a wonderful Christmas morning surprise. I discovered that that You Tube clip is not only the happy ending of the movie, It's a Wonderful Life, it's the whole movie. I watched it for the second time in my life waiting for Ellis to get up.
He came down with a horrible cold last night and I've been nursing him since. My discovery makes this Christmas complete--and underlines my message to you all. It really is a beautiful movie, poignant to many of us who have put our loved ones before ourselves and have at times felt resentment. If you find yourself a couple of hours left on your own, enjoy. Just click on the upper left corner of the screen when the ending clip finishes. I was pleasantly surprised to see what happened.
Thanks Linda for share the joy,with us! I hear ring the Christmas Bells in the various Churches around me... What a Wonderful day!!! I wish you happy winter days,Rita.
Linda! I absolutely love the poinsettia! One of your very best! I love so much about it! I very much enjoy the thick paint, bold brush strokes, the striking composition, the dynamite colors and so much more! A real "Wow!" Have a great holiday season! (Oh, I have to run! I think I see Santa in my back yard! I do! And he's painting! Check out my blog later today! I am going to try to get a photo!) Your art buddy, Michael
You too Celeste. I'll be having a different day. Instead of Santa, I'll be playing Clara Barton to Ellis' hacking cough, watery eyes, cold. For the first time in my life, I am making him chicken soup with matzoh balls. My mother and his mom would be proud. I hope they don't kill him.
It has an abstract feel, but I saw instantly what it was. Love the bold contrasts and makes thos warm colors really sing. I hope you're having a pleasant holiday.

You too Rita. What are you doing reading blogs on this day so filled with family?

ReplyDeleteAnd to you Mick. I hope you discovered the hidden surprise in my blog that I had no idea was there till early this Christmas morning.
DeleteBeautiful poinsettas..happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan. You've seen them before. They are the closest I've come to painting anything seasonal. Now they adorn someone's else's home.
DeleteMerry Christmas, Linda! I love Kermit! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was between Kermit, Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra, Kermit won; he's fun and so is the season.
DeleteLinda!
