This is the first movie I have seen starring Jillian Murray or Joseph Cannata, and I found them both adorably endearing. Murray is the perfect choice to play the part of a sweet, devoted & self-sacrificing daughter and Joseph Cannata makes an excellent concerned friend/boyfriend who tries to be helpful.

I watched "A Brush With Christmas" on PureFlix.com. My husband gave me an early Christmas gift this year as soon as we discovered the site. We signed up to the streaming service and he gave me a 1 year subscription. It was the perfect gift for me! Great American Pure Flix is dedicated to offering "the best in quality faith, family, and hometown-values entertainment". I have already watched several movies on PureFlix and I love it!
A Brush With Christmas Synopsis
Charlotte (Jillian Murray) is an artist, a painter to be more precise, but she works alongside her mother in the restaurant that was her father's dream. She loves the family legacy and embraces being head chef, but her heart is really in painting.
It is not unusual for an artist to work to pay the bills and "create" in their off time. However, Charlotte's mother requires more of Charlotte in the restaurant than a normal job would demand. That responsibility is even greater during the holidays when business is booming.
Charlotte is torn between the restaurant and her own desire to paint a Christmas picture to submit for the local art festival. Time is limited, which makes it impossible for her to do both things well. Under additional pressure from her mother, Charlotte makes the difficult decision to literally trash her half finished Christmas picture and focus on the extra seasonal demands at the restaurant.

Wyatt Graham (Joseph Cannata) is very successful and well known in the art world, but he is taking a much needed break from his job. While business offers him a way to use his artistic ability, computer generated art is not as fulfilling for him as holding a pencil and drawing. He is happy to be visiting his friend, David, who just moved to Bayside and he hopes to spend time back with his "drawing board".
When David enters him in the city Christmas art festival, Wyatt is pretty excited to gather supplies and start creating, but finding the subject to draw proves to be a little more challenging. Plus, he finds himself distracted by a lovely local artist.
