Does Christmas Make You Sad?

If so– why?

Me? Yes and No… I think that for many reasons it’s a time when my sense of mortality, passing time, and loss gets tangled with hope and leaves me both happy and sad.

What about you?

Here’s a detail from a painting of mine (“Roses Scattered From The Sky,” oil on canvas, 12 x 12) that expresses something of my ambivalence… both joy and longing, to see more of my paintings please come to my art site http://www.frankschaefferart.com/
