Painting-A-Day: December 4, 2006 - SOLD

"Unwrapping Christmas" is another homage to the holidays, "daily painters" (Duane Keiser, Sadie Valeri and Jeff Hayes) and to myself (miniature self-portrait). Oil on canvas board, 3.5"x3.5". This is a little study along the lines of "birth of Venus" - a visual remark on annual emergence of hidden decorative objects during the time specifically designated to their use. I am going to continue with the holiday theme for a while - I am enjoying the reflective surfaces and various designs found in the ornaments and the associative feelings they bring. SOLD
