"These are special times" is a captivating watercolour painting that measures 12"x 16". This festive artwork beautifully captures the essence of the holiday season through a detailed depiction of several Christmas-themed ornaments. Set against a white fabric background, the vibrant hues and intricate designs of each ornament stand out vividly, drawing the viewer into a nostalgic celebration of Christmas.

The collection of ornaments includes a jolly Santa Claus figure, a whimsical gingerbread house, a decorated Christmas tree, and an iconic nutcracker. The color palette of bright reds, greens, and golds, combined with skillfully painted textures and reflections, brings each ornament to life. The ornaments' shiny surfaces are rendered with such precision that they appear almost tangible, shimmering with festive cheer.

The piece is a harmonious blend of loose wet-in-wet techniques and meticulous detailing, creating an engaging contrast that enhances the realism and charm of the scene. Inspired by a collection of hand-painted vintage Christmas ornaments, this artwork evokes a sense of nostalgia and warmth, making it a perfect addition to any holiday collection.
