Post 336: Dixie for Christmas

What Brought About this Painting?

My aunt contacted me to do this painting as a gift for her granddaughter of her beloved "Dixie", who had unfortunately passed last year.

And the final picture is of my second cousin with her painting on Christmas day. I hope it brings a smile everyday of the memory of a loved family member.

Post 335: Christmas at the Core Sound Museum, Harkers Island, NC

Christmas at the Core Sound Museum, Harkers Island, NC 

Harkers Island, North Carolina is the home to the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center, which is within sight of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse. Beginning on November 17, 2023 and running through December 31, 2023 is the 2023 Gallery of Trees.

What is the Gallery of Trees?

I recently visited a friend that had moved to Harkers Island earlier this year and so enjoy my time spent with dear friends that are extended family there. We rode around the island and viewed the wonderful Christmas lights decorating the homes as well as the light show outside of the museum. And we visited the museum again, to see the 2023 Gallery of Trees - honoring local businesses, organizations, and families.

Here are the trees featured all around the museum. Each tree has a story and my friend and I enjoyed looking at each and every one of them.
