Angels singing carols on your tree. So quietly you can't hear them though....
The angels have wet felted dresses and wings and their hair is dyed silk.

Finally revealed, here's my recently finished 'Canalside' painting, 8x20" acrylic on canvas..

This is one of those 'where I went on my holidays' paintings, after a fabulous trip up the Shropshire Union Canal earlier this year.
From this beautiful mooring, we spied so much nature - rabbits, barn owl, deer, greater spotted woodpecker and a fleeting kingfisher. Plus some very inquisitive Highland cows!

Limited edition, giclee prints are available now.
