Christmas Themed Patterns and Prints: Getting Ready for the Holiday Season

Hey there! Summer is in full swing over here. The heat is sweltering and our air conditioning stopped working. Ugh. Despite the weather, I’m thinking about Winter holidays.

As I sit in front of multiple fans running on high, I am drawing Christmas themed patterns. My goal is to have a whole mini collection of holiday patterns and prints available by the middle of July.

If you have any suggestions of what you’d love to see on a holiday pattern or print, leave a comment below!

I am constantly working on floral designs because that is what I love the most. The other day, I painted some more watercolor florals and leaves and scanned them onto my computer.

Now that my watercolor flowers are digital, I can use them in my design program to create patterns and prints.

Raised by Wolves: A Personal Project

Additionally, I am working on a little personal project to try to stretch myself artistically.

There is a joke in our family that our youngest and our only daughter is raised by wolves, aka, her older brothers.

I am trying to draw an illustration of three wolves protecting a little lamb (our little girl), while also capturing each of their personalities.

See the illustration to the left to see what I’ve attempted so far.

I am not very skilled at drawing animals yet, but I am trying to develop some new artistic skills.

It’s not my favorite, but it’s a start. Since this is just a personal project, I don’t have any specific timeline for it. Hopefully in the next few weeks or months, my final Raised by Wolves illustration will be complete.

Until next time,
