Nuts are a big part of many holiday celebrations, whether it’s pecan pie, chestnut stuffing
or just a handful of mixed nuts grabbed at the office party.
Do not be afraid to go out on a limb … That’s where the fruit is.

I had never heard this quote about going out on a limb, very interesting thought.
I really like this sketch. Merry Christmas.
Hi Lisa, loving your nut here for the inner gem.
We need to dig and dig and dig our inner gem.
This seed is a blessed seed!
Merry Christmas!
Have a wonderful Christmas!
Thank you for all your comments 🙂
Merry Christmas, Lisa!!!! I hope Santa brought you everything you wished for. Meeting you this year and enjoying your incredible art has been a true gift for me. This Inner Gem piece is a work of genius. I love how the background looks like a mosaic of nuts. Yes, I feel like I climbed out on a limb and found you (but I’m not calling you a nut). 🙂
Thank you for the greeting, Lisa. I haven’t been able to visit any of my favorite illustration/ art blogs lately because I’ve been so busy 🙁 But I want you to know that I always like visiting your blog. There are always beautiful things to see and read here 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and have a wonderful new year! 🙂
Stunning…dear to the heart…you are a tresure…a gift to us all.
