Christmas paintings 🎄

Day 17.
Catching up .. "San Enrique matecaos" - a typical candy at the Christmas time in Spain. I wanted to practice the plastic stretched over the box and painted it with oils on oil paper (Fabriano), 20 x30 cm. The palm tree earlier post is also painted with oil paints on oil paper.

I love your palm trees. We have a couple as part of our nativity scene. What a great idea to include them as one of your paintings.

Your plastic over the candies is perfect.

Christmas with palm trees… in my dreams! The plastic wrap looks exact like plastic wrap and those candies aren’t getting any younger, yum! Such impressive work!

Wonderful additions to the lineup! I am really liking the casual green sweeps of the brushwork on "San Enrique matecaos" - makes it pop.
What an enjoyable series this is.

Day 21.
This one is a workshop painting when trying to learn to paint apples, 25x35 cm, oil on canvas piece. Not sure if it's finished tho.

Wow these are such a pleasure to see, Moscatel, and you are so dedicated to doing them. The bell and pine cone are so good and the apples are just masterful! They are really something!

 

[Artyczar]

Wow! So good.
