Mistletoe Cottage Christmas Folk Art Painting

I finished my new Christmas folk art scene this week and listed it on eBay.
"Mistletoe Cottage"

Christmas has arrived and the joyful singing coming from inside Mistletoe Cottage fills the snowy air with magic. A rather chubby snowman turns to listen as children's voices sing "Away in a Manger" and "Silent Night". With a smile on his face he realizes that if the Lord hadn't created Riley and Madison, they wouldn't have created him that very morning. The pretty little girl wrapped up so snug in her coat and boots had removed her scarf and tied it neatly around his neck. Her older and much taller brother ran inside to get him the black felt hat and added the holly as a special touch. What a beautiful day it had been dressed up in his finery watching over the family of Mistletoe Cottage.




Boxes of Christmas decorations are piled high in my living room.  Have you started decorating yet?

    Cathie, the Mistletoe Cottage painting is beautiful! And what a lovely story to go with it.

    I brought my Christmas boxes down from the attic, but that's about as far as I got! I hope to decorate on Monday.

    Hugs,
    Donna

    This is so beautiful! I love the perspective of the houses and church on the hill in the background, and the snowman looks so happy! What a touching scene!

    What a nice story about Mistletoe Cottage. I want to take the house tour. And I'm glad that the snowman recognizes good music when he hears it. How's the decorating coming?

    Your christmas- painting is enchanting, and so is your thanksgiving- painting.
    They are both so lovely.
    Have a great advent time.
