Description
It is an oil painting of popcorn-cranberry garlands and ornaments on a small spruce tree in my (the artist's) yard.
Following a fresh snow in December 2013, I sewed garlands and draped them on a small spruce tree, for painting inspiration. My mother taught her children to string popcorn and cranberries at Christmas holidays. A long, fine needle works best to make garlands, so as not to crack the popcorn. Squirrels and birds enjoy these edible garlands.
As the sun lowered in afternoon, I took photos with a simple digital camera.
I usually make more changes when using a photo for reference. With the spruce tree, however, other than reducing the blue color and adding ornaments, I tried to respect and trust the trueness of the tree and its snow draping, to be faithful to its own design, to learn from studying nature.
Using Photoshop in November 2019, I added my oil painting of "Celestine Snow Fairy" (a print that is also on Fine Art America).
