My pastel painting to end the year, scene from my kitchen window: After the Snow, Pastel, 20x21, Pecan Grove Plantation Country Club.
End of the year favorite e-card website is jacquielawson.com. I've sent the cards for years. They are safe, reliable, beautiful and new ones are created frequently. Love them.
Wishes for a great year for everyone.

Rally for the Cure
![]() |
Pecan Lake, Pastel, 12x16 |
The ladies at my golf club have supported the Susan G. Komen breast cancer awareness campaign for four years by hosting a golf tournament.
Pecan Lake was a silent auction work, and only a small contribution. But, this year we raised $35,000 with our Rally for the Cure, from entry fees, donations, sponsors, and the auction. Total for the four years of the tournament: $125,000.
This pastel painting inspired me to paint a series from Pecan Grove Plantation Country Club. The titles were fun to create. Hope you'll take a look. Just a click will get you there.
Christmas Reds

Christmas Reds, Pastel, 8x8 |
A Perfect Christmas Luncheon -- great friends and food, award for Most Improved Player, Golf 9 Hole Division, and a poinsettia that later posed for this painting.
For an artist who enjoys painting people, the flowers are fun. No concern for aligning the eyes, adjusting skin tones, not creating too many wrinkles! I used to think, "Oh, no. Don't let me reach for that color." Now I love creating combinations, imagining what the color COULD be, and getting in enough darks to pop the brights.
I think receiving the award for most improved made me as thrilled as making a sale. Improvement as a golfer is measured mathematically; it's a handicap formula. How is artistic improvement measured? Happy Holidays!
