A massive thanks to all of you who have sent me your holiday images. I’ll be sorting through them all tomorrow and seeing if it’s a picture a day or a couple a week. So if you have an image you want the world to see, send it in to jo.cole@imagine-publishing.co.uk. It’d be good to get them all for tomorrow but if you haven’t got round to it just yet, let me know and you can go further down the list!

Hello everyone. I am a bit of a Christmas freak and I’m sure there are others out there who love the holiday season as much as I do. So I had a little idea. I was wondering whether any of you would like to supply holiday-fuelled paintings that I could display in the blog each day in December? Kind of like an advent calendar only instead of chocolates, you get art! I appreciate that everyone is busy, but if you fancy having a go, email me and I’ll see if there’s enough people. Ho ho hope to hear from you soon!

I’ve been thinking about the art of self-portraits - as you do - and wondered whether any of you fine people have painted a self-portrait or whether you are thinking about doing so. I’d even be interested to hear from anyone who has a favourite self-portrait artist. So if you have any thoughts about the subject, drop me a line!
