Welcome to the October issue of the Pixelated Palette. Here in Ohio the trees are wearing the most beautiful hues of red, orange, and yellow. But in Pixelated Palette Land, we are currently dreaming of a White Christmas! Our cover artist, Phyllis Spaw, invites us to a secluded farm, complete with a cheery snowman welcoming skaters to the frozen pond. What a picturesque winter sight! This month, we are delighted to introduce two new artists making their debut, Harpa Mikac and Paola Bassan. Harpa has created a truly Magical Saint Nick. Her portrait of Santa is depicted with a stunning, windswept beard and rosy cheeks. Offset by a dark background, this is a mesmerizing study of holiday bliss. In Paola’s design, Santa and Rudy, we get a glimpse of Santa and his top reindeer, Rudy, sharing a moment of Christmas Cheer before the big night. I just love Rudy’s festive candy cane antlers, complete with joyful decoration! Speaking of reindeer, Sharon Cook’s deer are decked out for the season. Sporting festive saddles and hats, these adorable ornaments also have beaded hooves and shiny red noses! There are many other jolly characters nestled within these pages! How about a Christmas Bunny?? That Magic Moment shows Deb Mishima’s lop eared friend preparing for the holidays. Joining the party, Anita Campanella’s Elfi Time, painted on an unusual surface, features two of Santa’s best assistants. Cookies? Yum! Anita Morin’s Joy for Cookies showcases a pig baking his favorite holiday treats! And every child wishes for a puppy under the tree on Christmas morning… Sandy Kelsey has captured the moment of joy, when two hearts collide, and laughter fills the room. So, grab those brushes! Together, we can deliver smiles and spread some much-needed joy this holiday season! Happy Painting, Lindsey
