Do over #2. (My new Christmas Mantle)

Do over. (December Desktop Calendar #2)

Export to PDF | Export to DOCWhy did I create another desktop calendar for December? The first version had been tormenting me since Saturday. “REJOICE“ is actually an example of a painting that didn’t quite live up to my hopeful expectations.
