Lisa inspired me to haul out the tripod to see what I could get with only the tree as a light source. Have to say how much I love these compared to years past pics using flash.
I made these in the early 70's...still remember sitting at my sister's kitchen table to paint them. :)
My aunt made this nativity for us the year we first met her. I think she made 6 sets that year for my brother and sisters and mom/dad. Each one was unique. My mom and dad bought the stable in the Holy Land a few years after that.
OK Lisa, I tried getting the starburst on the lights too...not so hot....
Wow...what a pretty living room. Excellent job and I'm glad you pulled out the tripod...it's such an effort, but totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteIf I figure out how to do the star burst w/lights...i will certainly share the technique.
Kim has statues similar style to yours. I believe they are from a family member too?
My favorite of these pics is the mantel shot with the carolers you painted 30+ years ago.
I love your shots too! I love the carolers and the tree shot. Love the nativity too. All beautiful! Great work!
ReplyDeleteLisa, mine are from my Grandma. Just posted pics of them tonight. And I figured out the star burst thing. Check out my blog! :-)
