Festive on IA

This weeks IA challenge was a hard one for me.

The challenge was festive, 

but a northern hemisphere festive,

you know the type,

 short, dark, cold days,

icicles hanging from the eaves,

sitting around the open fire

and so how to make that festive

but add an Aussie touch.

So I took the short dark days and

the Aussie equivalent is a moonlit night.

The icicles hanging from the eaves

are festive lights hanging from the beach huts.

Sitting around an open fire, what else but

sitting around a bbq on the beach.

I put this all together in a little painting.

We tend to be a lot more relaxed in Queensland

and this is our perfect

festive Christmas,

sitting by an open fire.

I must apologise for the quality of this painting, if you check out

this post of mine you will understand why.

I would like to send everyone in
the northern hemisphere a little
something that will bring you some festive cheer
on your dark days.

Some good old Aussie sunshine.

Have a great Christmas and relax and enjoy.

Again, apologies for the quality of these pics.
