It’s the Only Thing on My Holiday Wish List
As the year draws to a close, I’m excited because days are getting longer, and I have a new Art Gown to share. She’s super special, so pop by Art Gowns on December 27th. It’s a holiday feast for the eyes.
In the meantime I wish all the very best, no matter what you celebrate this December!
Christmas
Holy Family with Saints Margaret and Francis (1578- oil on canvas) – Lavinia Fontana (1552 – 1614) Italian
Hanukkah
As I don’t have a photo of a Menorah, here’s one from Pexels. However, I have a photo of a Tora binder, rimmonim and yad. (below)
Torah binder (1696/97) – Simcha, wife of Levi of Buttrio – silk embroidered with silk thread
Kwanza
Kwanzaa – an annual celebration of African-American culture, culminating in Karamu, a communal feast. (December 26 to January 1)
Yule
Yule is one of the oldest winter solstice festivals, with origins among the ancient Norse thousands of years ago. That would be what the Vikings celebrated.
Well, I don’t have any Vikings, but I just happen to have some VI-QUEENS.
Big thank you’s to my models – Holly, Gigi, Dale, Shey, Marina & Rebecca
There are probably other celebrations/or respects. Best wishes to all! For all here’s Holly’s Tangle-Heart in a magic sky. It’s from © Timothy Price. Thank you for letting me use your photos dear Tim!
Comments are closed, so I can yet again attempt to catch up on visiting blogs.
However, comments will be open on December 27th, on Art Gowns.
