Hi Sheila... that's a lovely painting ...
good choices of colours and textures..
Happy Christmas to you ! :o) x

All the best to you and yours Sheila x

A lovely greetings card,Sheila..so thoughtful to paint one for us on Goy,and thank you .A very Happy Christmas to you and your family xx

Your paintings are very tranquil Sheila...which is how I've always imagined you to be too! Love it x Happy Christmas!

Peaceful Christmas holiday and all the best in New Year for you and your family. Lovely painting Sheila. You should be proud of yourself.

Thank you for your lovely comments Terra, Scottish, Bloomer and Klahanie :))

Karen - you're an astute lady. Once I was in a play, and the critic wrote (in the local paper) that I was one of the calmest people she'd ever seen on stage! ( I'm certainly not an extrovert, but can get very chatty at social gatherings . . . )

Have a great Christmas Sheilabub

Thanks Denise . . . you too.

:)). X

Merry Christmas Sheila :o)

Thank you for your good wishes, a Merry Christmas to you and yours Sheila.Lovely painting xx

Thank you Hywel and Gralew - enjoy the season :)

I love that watery moon Sheila, it's a beautiful drawing, thank you, and I wish you a very happy Christmas too. x

wow i think it is a fantastic painting, you are very talented! Wishing you a very happy christmas too :-)

I love your painting and echo the festive sentiments back to you and yours Sheila ... feel free to put any quiz questions on over the festive period!

Thanks all - so glad you realise it's a moon Gill!

You're very kind Summerbree :))

Shirley! You asked for it :)) Another tricky Christmas-themed clue . . .

"Rosebud" (4 or 6 or 8)

Oh Sheila ... what am I looking for then ... 4 or 6 or 8 ? ... lol!

I wish I knew Shirley! (maybe it's from a Carol??)

Citizen Kane ?
Sled (4) sleigh (6) sledge (6) toboggan (8)

Well done Terra, I have just been talking to my daughter on the phone and when I said "Rosebud" she immediately said Citizen Kane! Not a wasted education after all then! Sled, sledge, sledging were her answers. So, Sheila, next question ......

This conversation is very strange! You are all communicating in code! Lol!

Ah ... good afternoon citizen Karen ;o)

Hi Shirley .. thank you .. :o)

Lol Karen ... this is what happens when Sheila asks a quiz question!

Wow Shirley . . . I'm so glad you asked for another question! I'm very grateful to you and your daughter, even though I have no idea why 'Rosebud' refers to Citizen Kane. I'll happily fill in sled, sledge, sledging and await my prize to share with you (and Terra!). x

((( Two sleds appear in Citizen Kane. Rosebud, the sled Kane loves as a child, appears at the beginning, during one of Kane’s happiest moments, and at the end, being burned with the rest of Kane’s possessions after Kane dies.)))

aha...now I understand...sort of..:)

Love the winter scene Sheila......best wishes to you and your family XX

Thanks SO much Janey . . . I hope you can enjoy Christmas just a little this year with your family. xx

Super pic, Sheila. Happy Christmas!

"Rosebud" was Kane's dying word, and everyone tries to find out to whom it refers, imagining it to be, for example, a secret lover. Nobody does discover that, in fact, it is the sled he had as a child. It is very poignant. (Wonderful film - wonderful Orson!)

Thanks Sheila ! a Very Happy Christmas to you and your family , I love the card ,it's dreamy :o))

Thanks very much Susanne, and for the film info!

Thank you Amy - I like your description of my card!

I've never seen citizen Kane. :S

Nor me Karen . . sounds as though we should :)

Exactly...it sounds interesting doesn't it....and I don't think we'll be doing much gardening this side of the New Year going by the weather forecast!

Oh no - I've done a major spoiler!!! (Not entirely - the film is very innovative. Or was ... rather difficult to perceive that now)

oh, don't worry about that Melchi! :))

Shan't! Thanks ;-))

Lovely picture Sheila, hope some of your tranquility rubs off on me. Have a great Christmas:-)

Lol Ba . . thank you. Have a great Christmas!
