A Christmas Story

Ruth Schmuff's blog post this morning made me smile; she introduced my newest canvases framed as a fairy tale.  But did you know that it is a TRUE fairy tale?  It actually is! One of my biggest fans and cheerleaders did indeed wish for a series of little girl elves for her daughter, "the Princess".  She wanted ornaments, but alas, inspiration took hold of me and I painted three big stand-ups instead! 

Her only specifications were that they be girl elves and that she would like one dressed in pink and purple.  Here she is busy gathering the candy that grows wild in the Christmas countryside:Kringle Belle"Gathering the Candy"6.5 x 9.5 on 18ct.Another elf was to wear bright green and red, she is the one delving the pretty packages to Santa's sleigh:Kringle Belle"Delivering the Gifts"6.5 x 9.5 on 18ct.The elf destined to wear the oh-so-trendy blue and green outfit is of course stylish enough to be in charge of the decorating: Kringle Belle"Decorating the Tree"6.5 x 9.5 on 18ct.Hope you'll check back here soon to hear the rest of the tale, it doesn't end here!
