December seems long ago, though only a month and a half in the rear view mirror. December was quiet, and dry, and lovely, and the theme for my painting group was "Magical". I spent time walking local streets in the evening, especially downtown Hingham. It was "Magical", festive holiday windows, and lights, and warm glow from outside on the street.
"December Glow" is my painting from then, forgot to post it on my own blog at the time.
Sadly, the roof of this beautiful 1859 historic building caved in a few days ago due to the record breaking snowfall in the last few weeks. No one was injured, but the building is being demolished, understandably.
It was full of life, and full of magic. Sad to see it go.
The November challenge for Girls Just Wanna Paint is "magical". I love this time of year, just walking through downtown streets puts a lift in my step as I pass the glowing, festive windows. Interestingly for me, they never make me want to shop. I'm just not a shopper, more of an all-year-collector which I then share. I enjoy the warmth, the glow, the shine, the sparkle, and the desire to spend more time with friends locally and farther away.
See the rest of Girls ... entries here, and as always, thanks for looking.
And, here's a link to City Sidewalks, Busy Sidewalks (Silver Bells) with Bob Hope, for your listening pleasure.
