Merry Christmas Santa!
by Shara Reiner, CDA
Painting World Magazine
This piece would make a great gift for that special friend. I use mine on an easel on my hutch. It would also hang nicely. Santas are a favorite subject of mine to paint. I have Christmas year round at my house. You can find a five-foot Santa on my fireplace and a decorated Christmas tree on a table. Santa may hold flags in the summer with watermelons. I now have the tree decorated with silver hearts and tea balls. Oh my!

Let the paint dry, and then give a second coat, adding water to your Warm White. I like a “bumpy” look. Shade the snowman with a very thin sideload of Deep Midnight Blue. Mop to soften. With the same color, shade to separate the head and body next to Santa on the right side. Add very thin Deep Midnight Blue puddles where the eyes, nose, and coal buttons go. Using Snow White and your scrubby brush, add

Tulips & Irises Tile piece and Painting (right) by Linda Maxson
Painting World Magazine
From Canvas to Tiles,
Linda Maxson’s Artworks Are
Skillfully Spirited Spontaneity Linda Maxson captures the vitality of places and living creatures, through a system of order, which allows her expressive freedom. Prior to becoming a full time artist, Maxson had worked in the corporate world, which may seem
to suggest a huge departure from a former life. However, the forthright boldness by Nicole Borgenicht in design and color of her art complements: strength of communication, in any career path. Maxson received an AFA after an early retirement, and takes workshops to further advance her skills, while interfacing together with a network of artists. A mixed media artist, Linda Maxson translates her thoughts and feelings into a representational art piece that has the confluence of design and inspiration. “Whether painting or working with clay, I strive to capture the emotion and energy I feel when creating a piece. I am thrilled when the piece also evokes an emotional response in the viewer. In my paintings and ceramic tile murals, it is achieved with color, texture and subject matter. “ Maxson says. In the year round warm weather of the desert region, Linda Maxson soon began creating tile pieces, which could be hung outdoors. At times the acrylic painting images are similar to the tile pieces, but no two are ever identical. Maxson says, “Since I already had experience in ceramic tile “painting” (which is really a

• Sakura® of America Black Identi®-pen 44101 • Rubbing Alcohol • Martha Stewart Crafts™ Large Sponge (aka Mushroom Sponge) • Pre-wired Ribbon • Battery Operated Lights
Helpful Hints:
Since water breaks down the Gloss Enamels, it is important to use Clear Medium in its place. I do not dampen my brushes with water; rather, I load them with Clear Medium and blot them before painting.
Preparation: Prep the glass block by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. Load the large mushroom sponge with the White Frost Gloss Enamels, working it into the sponge. Apply it over the front of the glass block. Trace on the outer pattern lines, making sure the block is right side up. Undercoat the images with Everlasting Chalky Finish for Glass. This will save time when basecoating.
