    It is that time of year again! Holiday card time! I have been designing my own Christmas cards for a few years now, and the last two that I hand-painted have been my favorites! This year I was inspired by the song, “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” and the glistening of winter forests.

    I love snow days (I mean who doesn’t, right?). I love cuddled in a warm blanket on the couch watching the snow fall. I really have a zero tolerance to driving in the snow, so anytime it snows you’ll find me at home. Although I do love walking through the snow in the city. You know, before it gets all dirty and mushy. It is interesting because I am such a city girl, but I am also such a cabin in the mountains girl. I suppose this card was more inspired by my cabin in the mountains side!

    Also, it is a little hard to tell from the photos but there is some metallic silver watercolor paint highlighting bits of the trees, and the envelope is a lovely shimmer warm-white. Can’t wait to send these out to my friends and family this week!

    Work in Progress: Orange Pattern Studies

    • by

    Playing around with bright-colored textures and patterns today in the studio in preparation for the Hand-Painted Orange Invitation! It is funny how even painting with bright oranges feels as refreshing as eating an orange…which, by the way, I’m going to get to do quite shortly! See how the leaves are starting to curl and dry? They are definitely ready for eating!

    The Hand-Painted Orange Invitation is now available for ordering at the Invitations Shop.
