Start of a New Year

 

"What should I paint?"

I'm gearing up for the 30 day Challenge, Starting January 1st!

 If you haven't already signed up, go to http://lesliesaeta.blogspot.com/  and get registered. 

 I love doing these challenges, because they keep me painting,
 motivated, challenged, learning,
and I get to meet so many nice artist along the journey. 

I suppose I should take down our Christmas tree and put away the decorations first,

... naw..... that can wait :) haha..... I will get that done next week! :) 

 But Christmas will always, forever stay in my heart year round  :)  

  Happy Painting, and Happy New Year. 

 Can't wait to see all the wonderful paintings to be posted!!!

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

...When we could not reach heaven,
  Heaven came to us.
In Bethlehem a stable
  Became a throne of grace.....

For God so loved this world
  Though he knew what love would cost
  He made a way in a manger
 To make a way to the cross.

"Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas!!!!"

"He Made A Way In A Manger" is by Lee Black and Steve Merkel. This song has been performed by Candi Pearson Shelton in the album, Shout Praises. - See more at: http://www.christmas-songs.org/songs/he_made_a_way_in_a_manger.html#sthash.w7V3WWB7.dpuf

"Hamish, the Hippy Cow"

"Hamish, the Hippy Cow"

The breed was developed in the Scottish Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland.   Highlands are known as a hardy breed due to the rugged nature of their native Scottish Highlands, with high rainfall and very strong winds. Their hair gives protection during the cold winters and their skill in looking for food allows them to survive in steep mountain areas. They both graze and browse and eat plants which many other cattle avoid.

 

A friend of mine took a picture of this guy, while visiting Scottland.

I love their long bangs :)
