Description
The heart of Christmas
Like love
Grows wherever it is planted.
I'm in California enjoying the sunshine and holidays with my family. This is an image I did several years ago, to celebrate a tradition my husband and I shared by putting a new heart-shaped ornament on the tree every year. This is one of those ornaments that decorated a tree that was filled with many hearts and memories.
Wishing all my R'osity friends a joyful holiday filled with love.

Carol, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful Christmas image with us. I was very moved by your memories of you and your husband putting a new heart-shaped ornament on the tree every year. Traditions like that are the one's that we never forget and you did a marvelous job of celebrating those memories through this marvelous work of art. I hope you and your family have a Very Merry Christmas.
what a lovely tradition! thank you for sharing that and for sharing this wonderful image and all the images you share all year long. Merry Christmas!
Very beautiful Carol, lovely memories. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family. xxx
FASCINATING formidable creation !!
So beautiful! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Fantastic work...!!!
wow, Carol, even in working with a simple ornament, you created a big rupturing flowing spill of emotion and---well, history. I don't know how I explain that, it just feels like all those shapes and forms are like the rings of a tree, they have 'history' in them. I can't imagine what the actual ornament looks like---this is like a tree revealing its soul to the world. The top of the 'plant' looks like the trunk of a tree reaching into the sky, with blood red veins coursing through it. And the deer and snow are like one of those glass snow things---don't know the name: it's those glass orbs with water and little figures inside, and you shake them, and they 'snow'? That's what it looks like on top. With a tree on the left, and that bokeh'd green all around. It's so like your other images, in that it has that "ground" of deep hues swirling around, like the ground out of which the heart arises. And it has the feeling of memory too, it comes across powerfully. It's almost an ancient mask---it has eyes on top---one of those things that people wore to conjure their ancestors and the gods and goddesses...Big and passionate, a beautiful treatment of an ornament that has real meaning to you, and a wonderful wish and gift for all of us. I know your Christmas will be blessed, and thank you for blessing me in my life, and everyone else here week after week. LJ would be glowing from this image. He's in it...A blessed holiday to you and your loved ones, and thank you for all you give, dear friend. Have a wonderful night and day!
Beautiful work of art. :) I'm sealing your tradition now that I"m married :) Hope you are well my friend; I miss spending all my time here it's like a home away from home.
Thank you for the Christmas wishes. May Christmas and 2015 be filled with blessings in abundance for all. God bless.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Truly beautiful!
Beautiful illustration Carol for the season, I can see a lot of thought and work went into this. Sorry I have not been here very much over the past few months, but am back again for a while at least - just seeing how I go what with the health issues etc. lol. Hope you are well, wishing you a Happy Healthy & Prosperous New Year, hugs Jane xx
