Painting A Day

At this festive season of the year, it is more than usually desirable for painters to paint holiday subjects in their "Painting a Day" themes. This will be my first holiday season doing the painting-a-day project, so I could start the tradition today.

The star of today's painting: the color Viridian: a cool and deep blue-green that is second only to turquoise in terms of beautiful blues, and this wreath's hues were full of it. Always a visual pleasure to see so much of it on the canvas. As for an actual star, we'll save the star atop the Christmas tree for a later picture.
