If you live in the Washington metropolitan area, you are probably familiar with this structure. It is the Mormon Temple in Kensington, MD. I was there last Saturday to attend the Greater Washington Suzuki Flute Ensemble's Christmas concert. Every year during the Festival of Lights, the trees in the church grounds are decorated with millions of lights. The work that goes into it must take thousands of hours. Lights of all the colors in the rainbow wrap around the branches of tall trees, short bushes, and every tree in between. You have to see the Festival of Lights!
I took several pictures before going into the Visitor Center for the concert, because that's what I do--taking pictures. While looking at them on my laptop on the following day, it occurred to me that a painting of the subject would make a terrific Christmas present for my daughter's flute teacher who happens to be a Mormon. For someone as special as she, a store-bought gift just doesn't cut it.
I have never painted Christmas lights before, but there is always the first time for every thing. I am pleased with the way "Festival of Lights" turned out. I told her that she would have to wait for her present until early January. I hope she likes the painting!
