Art Advent Calendar

It’s December 2nd so that means 24 days till Christmas.

I’m going to have to be honest with you – I’m not a big fan of Christmas. Not the day itself mind you just the whole build up. The nearly 2 months of seeing Christmas decorations, listening to Christmas commercials and music. It is just way too long for my liking. Now I know some people love it, when they go up the attic stairs with the Halloween decorations they come back down with the Christmas ones. And that’s ok for them but not for me. When I hear that someone has all the presents bought and wrapped 5 weeks before Christmas I’m thinking of unfriending them on social media! And when anyone above the age of 15 knows how many sleeps till Christmas, well you get the point.

Am I a Mr Scrooge come to life? Bah! Humbug! Ok so maybe. This year though I have a plan. A plan to fill the days and get into the whole Christmas spirit and to what better way than with art. So i thought of a Christmas art advent calendar.

What is it? How does it work you ask? Well every day I’ll be posting a new small painting for you guys (and myself) to enjoy. Not necessarily Christmas related, a floral, a seascape, landscape. And if my plan works and I start to succumb to the Christmas spirit and all that jazz you’ll see it in the art too! You can watch the whole project below here and also on my social medias (links).

And the same as kids opening a tiny window on their Chocolate Advent Calendars to get a treat and mark another day closer to Christmas, I’ll be doing the same, a little treat for the eyes and every bit as sweet!!!
