NFAC The Christmas Tree Original outsider folk art painting

This months Nibblefest 's theme is Christmas Trees. I found this a difficult theme, and decided that while fir trees are beautiful I needed to move in a different direction. I wanted the soft cool crisp feeling of the Christmas morning and the warmth of the surprise that the colour of Christmas brings to the world.

This brought me to this abstracted tree with a single red ball. Is it a Christmas ball? Or is it the last apple some how magically left pristine in the silence of winter waiting for a small animal to find the magnificent present?

It seems sad yet hopeful to me, kind of like a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree.

Not in my usual vein eh? I like it though. Nice quote! Thanks!

Yes there are elements of Charlie brown. Isn't all of winter sad but hopeful? :D
Thanks Sir!
