@monikozi Monika, I was watching an Affinity tutorial, when it ended it segued into the one for 'your' gnomes. I saw it as a sign to do my version of them!! Shadows on Santa's hat are a pig to do!!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond these are lovely Jackie. I so desperately want to get painting again but at the moment work is taking presedence

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I got a drawing started but that’s as far as I got. I’ve been trying to do some Christmas baking/cooking. I should have some time maybe next week. I love the shadows you did on the Santa hat and the reflections of the lights. your gnomes are awesome as well

@grammyn @salza @linnypinny @summerfield Thank you so much Katy, Sally, Vikster and Lin. I'm confined to barracks, so will reduce risks and won't catch TFV and so this year WILL visit my daughter for 25th. I have laundry, cleaning, baking and ironing on my to-do list, but I decided to sit still, listen to the radio and follow three YouTubes instead!!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Oh dear me!!!!! These are SUPERB!!!!! I have nothing to comment. The shadows on that gat are spot on!!! They really are a pain. Especially on the white part. Those bulbs are super neat. As for the gnomes, they are much too cute. Soooo lovely!
I am so glad you enjoyed these!
I hope it will inspire the gang!

[katy]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond good to see you have your priorities in order!

@monikozi Inspired indeed just wish I could make myself let go of the laundry cleaning and baking!

[JackieR]

@grammyn STOP!! NOW!!!! It will wait, spoil yourself with half a day to paint. But my Scottish MiL insists absolutely NO left over housework on Jan 1st, so even I'll be doing/hiding the ironing and hoovering by 31st.

[JackieR]

@monikozi thank you so much Moni, praise indeed for my shadows!!!!

I love the gnomes, such fun to do

[summerfield]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @monikozi

[katy]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond LOL!

[Jacqueline]

Brilliant painting!

[Susan Wakely]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond loving them all and no doubt that you had fun doing them.

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond These are great! Thanks for the Seasonal Wishes, and to you too.

I thought maybe this was Carole's advent calendar painting. Anyway, I think they are so cute. Are they big or sort of miniature paintings?

[JackieR]

@randystreat Thank you, they're 5x3 and then put into mounts to use as cards. Carole's are really intrcate and minute


@theredcamera thanks, had fun copying from YouTube

@wakelys it beat cleaning, ironing, laundry and planning tonight's tea!! Plans for another one tomorrow!! ( Or finish series 3 of The Crown!)

@jacqbb many thanks, but nowhere near to your fabulous skills

@grammyn so paints out later today?! @summerfield ta

[moni kozi]

@grammyn Katy, just wanted to mention: we, here, accept drawings as well.
Just saying... 😁
And you will make the time for it when the time is right, i'm sure.

[Kathy A]

These are fabulous and I think you got your priorities exactly right
