Glory to God (2006)

Today I have added a new room to my suite “Christmas Cards” called “1999 to 2006 — The Global Dimension”. It is so named because the Earth appears on several cards, and round things appear on a few others. I hope these works inspire you.

The Sheep’s Gate (1991), decorated and encased in resin by Mrs. Kobayashi

In 1991 a church was opened in Oji Town in Nara Prefecture, Japan. This provided the inspiration for a number of Christmas cards in the 1990s. Most of these cards were designed or fashioned by my family, not just myself. You may notice the impress of my beloved’s style in particular. As such they are more properly copyrighted “Winskells in Japan”.

On of the recipients took her card and gave it the honour of special treatment (above). Below is one more of her treated cards.

Please see the developing collection of Christmas cards in “Galleries” > “Christmas Cards” > “1991 to 1998 – Church as Motif”.

Next week, on 26th October I hope to add a third room to the Christmas card suite, focussing on the Earth as motif.

Nativity (1990)

What? Christmas! It’s only October. Most of us haven’t even done harvest thanksgiving.

True, but I hope you enjoy my Christmas card selection, starting with a gallery called “1982 to 1990 Early works” featuring my experimental works from way back in the 1980s.

I have also just reorganised “Galleries” into just three suites “Calendars”, “Christmas Cards” and “Global Thinking”. There are now seven rooms for the seven calendars. There will be four or five rooms once I have added all my cards. Global Thinking is just one room right now. It will have to be reorganised into a new suite called “Style Development” probably next month.

You might be tempted to click on “Shopping” the one commercial button on the site. I’m still working on this part of my life, so patience please. Don’t expect cyberspace mugging, yet.

Please look forward to more cards next week on Saturday 19th.
