A recent trip to Branson led me to the Christmas Shoppe - and wow, did I ever find some amazing nutcrackers! This one is a Steinbach in the Charles Dickens townsfolk series, the Caroler. I love that he stands by a lamppost with sheet music in his hands, long coat flapping in the breeze. He is SO cool! A still life is not my normal subject matter, but I do love the vibrant colors of these little guys, and it is SO satisfying to lay down those bold hues! I've added three new nutcrackers this year to an ever growing collection. Perhaps I will make these my Christmas cards........ Painting number 1784 in 1784 days.
