Long ago, Sharlene http://sitekreator.com/stushnov/main_page.html
and I would send a box little gifts to one another. Our tastes are so similar that buying for one another is like buying for ourselves making the shopping quest most pleasurable! A few years ago we resumed the tradition with an added new twist; a painting exchange.

Why save opening it all for Christmas morning? My family doesn't need to witness the obsession, although I invite Bill to watch and he does. So I bust into the box as soon as I receive it, often with a glass of wine, and always very slowly so as to savour the attention to detail of the exquisitely wrapped presents. This year the parcel came on Christmas Eve day, so I wasn't overly early!

I wish that the camera could capture the warm glow of the metallic gold in the background, but sadly it does not.
I was annoyed with myself for not budgeting the time to paint a new amaryllis for Sharlene this year. I'm hoping she'll forgive me for sending this painting, done in 2009, for a Christmas exhibition ...
