IC1040 - Christmas Wishes

Photo Details

Poster: nwilliams6

Denise has us visiting The Permanent Garden for inspiration in this week's Inspiration Challenge. I was inspired by this lovely pin:

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/219972763045049832/

I started by painting the branches and berries and then painted the vase. I did some fill in doodles and splatter to make it look full and balanced. The balancing was hard for me - I should have started with the vase. It came out pretty anyway,

Come join us.
