About 23 years ago I painted an ultra modern piece. We had a mid-century vibe going at the time and it worked well. It's been hanging in the farmhouse for over 7 years now and I kept seeing the shapes as flowers, so I finally brought them to life! Makes me feel alive!

The article presents a nostalgic look at Christmas mornings during the mid-20th century, particularly the 1950s and 1960s, using a collection of vintage photographs that capture people with their holiday gifts. It highlights how the post-war economic boom and the rise of mass consumer culture shaped the experience of Christmas during this era. For children, Christmas morning was filled with excitement as they unwrapped iconic toys that defined the period. Boys commonly received items such as Matchbox cars, Erector Sets, and later early G.I. Joe action figures, while girls often received Barbie dolls, Chatty Cathy dolls, or miniature Easy-Bake Ovens. Simple yet engaging toys like Silly Putty, Play-Doh, and Etch A Sketch also reflected the importance of imagination in play during that time. The article also explores adult gift-giving traditions, which often emphasized practicality and emerging modern comforts. Women frequently received household appliances like toasters, blenders, or electric mixers, reflecting the domestic ideals of the era, while men were often gifted hobby-related items such as smoking pipes, mantel clocks, or coordinated family pajamas for holiday photos. Across all age groups, gifts symbolized prosperity, family unity, and optimism about modern life. The accompanying photographs serve as a visual archive of mid-century Christmas culture, showcasing both the simplicity and emotional warmth of holiday celebrations before the digital age. Overall, the piece paints a vivid picture of how consumer goods, family traditions, and cultural expectations shaped Christmas in the 1950s and 1960s.

I photographed Visitor Center — Palm Springs California to present its sharp triangular form and exposed support beams against a vivid blue sky. The composition emphasizes clean geometry and balance, making the structure feel both bold and calm. This print brings modern architectural clarity to a living room or office.
