My dad is a wonderful painter and every year he has many request to paint Christmas ornaments this year was one of the ornaments he painted. He usually paints on clear glass bulbs but I really like this gold ornament. At my parents church the ladies have a ornament exchange and his ornament is the one the ladies always fight over they call it the "Marlow". I believe strategies are made every year to see how they can win the coveted "Marlow". Hey, but wait I didn't even get one this year.
