Simplicity is the removal of the useless and the unnecessary--source unknown

This year I'm doing something new: Christmas ornaments. I'm trying these out in my Etsy shop.

For myself, I don't normally have a Christmas tree, but I do like to bring in a fallen tree limb, a slim one with lots of little branches to hang ornaments from.

It's a civic holiday today, and I'm splotched with paint. I have a "painting apron" but I keep forgetting to put in on. After Sunday lunch with a good friend of mine, I came home and painted trees. We'd been talking about trees, and I've painted many trees over the years but not recently. So.....

Another subject I've painted many times in many ways is the pear.
