Now that's a coincidence. I just made myself some hot chocolate before I opened your art after the cut so I can totally imagine Minerva's feeling. What a nice start of the fest.

The low-tech and tasty way to get the full experience! Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it! :D

Aww this is great! I love the colors and the sprig of holly in her hair! The snowflakes on her mug are also super cute, and she looks very warm and snuggly in her tartan!

This is lovely. I like to Minerva would enjoy a hot cup after a long day of teaching or to relax on her holiday break. I love the expression on her face. She looks so happy and relaxed. And the holly in her hair is a great touch.

Thank you! I'm delighted you liked it. :D

I can see the weight in that cup, which means the MA has that Spot On! Well done!

That is really beautiful!! I love the way her sweater makes me want to reach out and stroke it -- great work on that!

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I try really hard to make things in my art look touchable. I'm so glad you liked it! :D

[scarletladyy.livejournal.com]

Oh that's lovely, and so Christmassy too! She looks so happy. I love her vibrant red robe and the holly in her hair too.

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. :D

Great job on the details. It's a fantastic piece. Now I want a cup of hot cocoa.

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. :D

This is so McGonagall! The tartan dress, the bun, adorned with a twig of holly, are beautiful details, as is the curling steam. Love that she managed to sneak away to indulge in a cup of hot chocolate - she always appears so stern and ultra-correct, it's nice to see her enjoying a small 'sin' so much. :-) Thank you for sharing!

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Everyone needs a break and a bit of warmth and cheer at Christmas. :D Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

[capitu]

Aww, okay, this is wonderful in every way. Can I just say I love the spring of holly in her hair? It's such a beautiful touch! And just, the colours and her hair and the smile and her clothes and the hot chocolate scent feels so comforting. There is magic there! Such a lovely image. *happy sighs*

Thank you so much for this! <33

That is fantastic (and has me craving hot chocolate)!

This looks so wonderful cozy and warm, and Minerva looks so happy and contented.

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm delighted you liked it. :D

[alisanne.livejournal.com]

Mmm, she looks so pleased with herself, and so she should be.
There's definitely magic in hot chocolate. :)
Her jumper is so festive! And the holly is the perfect holiday touch. *g*
Beautifully done!

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I don't think anyone could hold a cup of hot chocolate, inhale the fragrant steam and not smile. LOL! I'm so glad you liked this. :D

[kellychambliss.livejournal.com]

I love this! You've brought the whole scene to such vivid life: I can just smell the chocolate, Minerva's wrapped hands and rapt expression show just exactly how therapeutic and welcome this treat is, and of course, the red tartan jacket and green holly are the perfect understated holiday touch.

Great opener for the fest; it puts me in just the right mood.

[mywitch.livejournal.com]

Oh girl! Wrapped and rapt! Even your comments are a joy to read!

[kittyaugust.livejournal.com]

How sweet and soothing. I love the little touches like the pattern on the tea cup and the holly in her hair. Delightful. Thank you!

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

I'm a firm believer in the little touches, particularly with an otherwise fairly simple piece. I'm so glad you enjoyed them. Thank you very much! :D

[writcraft]

Absolutely lovely! I love the warmth and contentment in the piece and it's got a gorgeous, wintery feel to it. Lovely use of colour and I adore the cosy tartan.

Great job!

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm very glad you liked it. :D

[kitty_fic]

This is just beautiful! There is some really lovely detail that you've woven into this piece.
My favorite part is probably the sprig of holly in her hair. But there's just so much to appreciate here it's hard to choose! Such a gorgeous start to the fest! ♥

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I tried to put as much of the feeling of Christmas into this piece as I could. I'm so very glad you liked it! :D
