This is a digitally altered version of a painting I made over the summer. I had some Photoshop fun with cropping and filters to alter it into a holiday piece. Since it's December already (can you believe it??), I thought an altered Christmas tree would be appropriate. My posts this month will probably be few and brief, as I have not purchased a single gift, baked a cookie, or written a card yet. In fact, this may be as close as I get to a holiday card at the rate I am going!
While I love the act of giving someone a perfect and thoughtful gift, more and more I resent the pressure to buy, buy, buy during this season. I realize that this mind set will not help the economy, but I am hoping to find creative ideas for giving that don't always involve a trip to the dreaded mall.
Oh, and I almost forgot...
My friend Marilyn is introducing a new monthly "featured artist" on her blog, and she has invited me to be the first. Here's my interview.

I love your holiday digital Christmas tree with heart. I think that should be your card this year. I completely agree with your shopping and buy buy buy sentiment. My family has always appreciated handmade gifts and we appreciate the time and thought each gift represents. Enjoy your December.
I loved your interview and I think this is a perfectly fabulous card!

Great interview, Kerri. Love your altered wish! The black surround makes it wonderfully dramatic.
