Advent Begins
First day of Advent
Advent begins, and with it a new Advent tree of fairy baubles.
Watch this space for a gentle countdown to Christmas with things bright and beautiful, good and gladsome - a gift from the fairies in their many disguises.
An artist and illustrator living in southwestern Ontario. My passion is the beauty of the illustrated page. I create detailed and imaginative paintings for children's books and licensed products. My paintings are executed in glowing watercolours on 100% cotton hot-pressed paper. Please visit my website at www.francestyrrell.com.
"Work, give, share; recognize the blessings you have and multiply them in your heart; do not strain after the impossible, but keep hope fresh in your soul, the hope that each day will be better than one just lived, which was already good because, like the Boy Scout, you tried to do at least one kind act in the twenty-four hours. Joy lies within your heart; does not depend upon what you are or have ." Queen Marie
