“Childhood Christmas Magic” Acrylic Painting

“Childhood Christmas Magic” is a beautifully crafted acrylic painting measuring 10 x 12 inches. This heartwarming piece captures a cozy, indoor winter scene, bursting with festive holiday spirit. Central to the composition me…dressed in my favourite toque standing next to a decorated Christmas tree. The child (me!)is captured in the delightful act of decorating the tree, holding an ornament with an expression of focused joy. At my  feet, is our dog Saddie, watching with curiosity, adding an adorable touch to the scene. In the foreground, my brother is seen crawling on the floor, his eyes wide with wonder as he is mesmerized by the brightly lit tree. He was a menace with tree decorating at this age! The background is filled with warm, natural light to bathe the scene with an inviting glow.

The painting conveys a sense of nostalgia and the simple joys of holiday preparations, reminiscent of cherished childhood memories. The use of acrylic on a gesso-prepared birch panel, finished with a sealing coat of gloss varnish, adds a unique, polished texture to the artwork. The sides of the art are painted red and it’s ready to hang. This piece is not just a festive decoration; it is a vivid capture of the magical moments that make the holiday season special.
