"Portraits and People" by Elaine Pekarske

It's hard for me to think of anything
but Christmas in December.
I love all things Christmas:
The music,
The smells,
The foods,
The lights,
The cards,
The Christmas movies,
The Television specials,
Santa Claus,
The Holy Birth,
Being with family,
The traditions of the past,
Remembering friends,
and being a part of something,
that is so widely celebrated.
My painting palette is very different
during the Christmas season.
My reds are rich and vibrant,
Mostly cadmium red deep and napthol crimson.
My greens will be deep green permanent
and cobalt green deep.
I'll use rich metallic paints such as
iridescent bright silver and pewter,
iridescent bright gold and antique gold.
Everything seems to take on a sparkle
at Christmas time and every year
I feel inspired to create a new painting....
