Look away if it’s too early for Christmas, nothing to see here.
The 2nd Christmas card, to go with the one I posted the other day. Both Christmas cards will be available in a couple of weeks.
If anyone wants the paintings, including their Christmas-y motifs, do let me know before I paint over them.

I know it’s ridiculously early, but here’s the first of two new Christmas cards. They should be available towards the end of October, once the 2nd is finished.
Not sure anyone will want an oversized Christmas tree on a painting, so I may have to paint over it.
