Christmas in Rizhao

Today I have some fun photos from around Rizhao. Christmas trees in all their Chinese glory!

Butterfly tree.

And then to end it all with some updates from the studio. I have here three paintings in progress:

This is stage one and two on the canvas of the painting I planned in my art journal (small picture bottom left)

Stage 1 & 2 of a small painting of the blue-tit from my art-journal (small picture bottom left)

Small painting that will be an Eurasian jay feather. Again stage 1 & 2, from my sketch in my art-journal  (small picture bottom left)

Have a beautiful day everyone!
