Winter paintings

I cut some holly branches and put them in a vase.

Then I started painting....

Added things in the foreground, holly berries, more lime green on leaves....coming along....

Lightened the table top, "put a cloth on it", ( below) LOL!

Still don't think I am finished..should I add something else in the foreground, make the "cloth" less mottled? Pull some pale yellow up into the pink?....

I like to keep my work loose...tending toward semi abstract, very hard to pull off sometimes, but I like how this is coming along!

Meanwhile, I have finished three more "just for fun" winter paintings.

 

Including a Santa!
