Okay, so like everyone else during this marvelous Christmas season, I am stressed. And it's only really about one little thing and that is my parents Christmas gift.
What my brothers and sister and I are making is a family crest for my folks, because we don't have one as now a days they aren't as popular. So I have bought a canvas and in the background drew the outline of the crest and some of the detailing that will go around it...but the only real painting any of us has done, is one layer of the background. As the background is going to be the four of our hand prints. So only two of us have done our hand prints and now the other two siblings still have to. Then we have to paint our symbols inside the crest and then I have to do all the detailing.
You may be asking why me, because I am the artist in the family and can work a paintbrush to an extent. The thing that gets me though is that Christmas is two days away and when under pressure I just want to get things done so then they get sloppy and I really want this painting to be prefect as it will symbolize our family.
I guess the only thing that I can do is calm down, take a couple breaths and take my time. As when I think about it, it is a lot of time to get something done:)
Merry Christmas
