I took several pictures of palm trees before I settled on one that I wanted to print out and frame. Now I have a nice palm tree print to hang on my wall.
Make Decorative Pine Cones
These pine cones can be for Christmas, or for every day decorations. I had a bit of glitter paint, so I decided to cover the pine cones with several different shades. The pine cones were placed on paper plates and a paint brush was used to dabble paint all around the cones. Some of the pine cones were painted in several different shades of paint to create a cool effect. I love the glistening of the sparkly pine cones, but the yellow one is sort of my favorite because it reminds me of corn on the cob.

This is how the pine cone looked after it had dried.

The Painting: Two Palm Trees And The San Bernardino Mountains
The name of this painting is two palm trees and the San Bernardino Mountains because of the backdrop behind the monocots that are swaying in the wind. I love the contrast between palm trees and snow capped mountains, which is based on a photograph that I took a few months ago.
