I know it's kind of schmaltzy but I'm a sucker for the trappings of Christmas. I love the tree, the candles, the smells, poinsettias, ornaments etc.
I am painting one Christmas still life each year, even though I realize that they are probably too seasonal to sell. They give me a chance to try to capture the translucent quality of the candles, the delicate poinsettia leaves, and the shiny ornaments all in one painting. I'll put them up in my house in December, and store them the rest of the year.
