Tonight I had a fun time painting at the
Village at Mendota Heights' "Mendota Lights" Christmas event! It was very busy and we were both painting non-stop from 4:00-7:00! This year we had the most mild weather we've had for the event, so I think a lot of people came out. It was perfect for the horse drawn hayrides!

This year I totally re-did my Christmas design boards, so I had quite a few new ones to do which was really fun. Some of them I simplified so that I could handle the crowds better, like Rudolph and the angel which I turned into just wings and a halo. Here is a little montage of a few of the designs painted tonight:
Simplifying a few designs allowed me a little time to step it up a bit by adding a few acrylic rhinestones and using some
Liquid Bling. I used the
star rhinestones on the tops of the Christmas trees, attached with
Spirit Gum, and they were a HIT! The Liquid Bling was really cool for the Grinch's red eyes.
