Christmas Dreams snowman painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I just must share the cutest story. Recently I posted how that I have my 90 year old mother living with me for awhile. She is wheelchair bound and my life adjustment has been challenging to say the least. She is such a cute little lady with silver hair that wisp around her face creating the sweetest halo. Well needless to say my time to paint or any alone time has really suffered because of my commitment to help take care of her. Today I thought I would get up at 5am so I could paint before she needed me and the chores of life began. I am sitting at my easel smiling and painting when my cell phone rings at about 530. It was mama wanting me to come get her up so we could have coffee. I could do nothing but lay my brushes aside and walk gently down the stairs and open the door to see the prettiest lady I know smiling back at me. I finished this painting in bits and pieces throughout the day. Maybe I just have to learn to paint in short intervals instead of finish a painting in one session. 7x5 oil on canvas

Once again I revisit this ornament. If you have followed my paintings for very long you will remember it from last year and maybe the year before. Anyway, I will tell the story once more. Many years ago when I was going through a very rough time in life my sister bought me this special ornament. It was very expensive back then and I loved it more than any other ornament and valued it for years. Last Christmas as my daughter was taking down my tree she said what if I drop and ornament and break it. I said it really doesn't matter except for that special one. About that time I heard the crash of fragile glass and a loud gasp.... I knew in my heart of hearts that it was that ornament. I went into the living room and she just stood there with her mouth open.  I cried...she cried.... gently she swept up the broken pieces and put them in a special glass jar. I could not just throw it away. I got it out today and placed it with my little clear glass snowman. As I arranged the still life set up I decided to put the broken piece on top like a funny little hat. Cute, I thought...

My friend gave me this little snowman many years ago. Today I still love him. He has been the subject for 

several paintings and I never grow tired of him.

Once again I could not resist this little snowman. It is not something I would have bought myself but a friend who knows me better than I bought it for me. It is so unique and just has that Charlie Brown Christmas tree appeal. I am really trying to work on my skills and painting a little differently giving more concious thought to the detail. This is a 8x10 oil still life on canvas panel. It is for sale for $80 just contact me to purchase
