Surprise Christmas Present, by Kim Blair

Can-Can
24x18 
oil on canvas

Or this...
Always fun to try different locations!

Sometimes it's difficult to keep a gift a surprise, but the husband of a friend of mine did just that this Christmas. He made a point of remembering which painting she had commented on when she was perusing my blog, then he contacted me to hold the painting for him.

A fellow painter, she thought she was receiving a blank canvas as she unwrapped the gift...  but was very happy to find Can-Can instead!

It's always fun to be part of a surprise.
