Just look at this bright bunch - all decked out in matching ensembles as they anticipate a visit to greet Santa and give him their wish lists. Simply give this fine lady a hand for successfully preparing this troop in their Sunday best. I could not resist capturing those sweet things in an illustration. Christmas in the eyes of a child or parent is truly special.

ReplyDeleteHi. Thanks for your visit. I´ve posted some pictures of the home in Madrid of the main asocciated of Bernard Madoff in Spain, Andres Piedrahita. It´s gorgeous and shows all the items of a new rich's home. He got for Madoff 2.300 millions € from spanish wealthy families who have lost all of it...c'est la vie.
ReplyDeleteBest regards from Spain.

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and e-mailed a request for a quote. I love this illustration and have a photo of my kiddos and our last beloved home I am interested in capturing through your artistic eyes. You are so talented!!! We adopted a daughter from China and she and her brothers are at the perfect age for something like this.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
