Is it really 6 months since I last posted something onto my Art Blog. The last 6 months haven't been good in terms of keeping the creative juices going, but recently I can feel the paint coursing through my veins.... and of course kept my wildlife blog going......
..... but it's nearly Christmas, and every year I try and produce a Christmas card. This year I'm struggling a bit, not because I don't know what to do, I have an image in my mind and it's formulating well, and have never done a watercolour Christmas Card before. It's purely time to sit down and do it.
This is as far as I have got!! I thought if I leave the stuff in the conservatory rather than the very cold Studio/Shed, I may get cracking. But not yet. However tonight I'm off to Dunster for the Dunster by Candlelight evening, so I may just come back and get this finished, after being inspired there... the weather looks fab for this evening anyway!!

You're cards are marvelous. Do you then have copies printed or do you do each card individually. Certainly a treasure for anyone receiving one.
ReplyDeleteThank you Oldcrow, I print off my own cards rather than set each one up individually. At art shows selling cards is often a way of making more money than selling the paintings. As it happens my cards this year are photos. A posting to follow.
ReplyDeleteThose were lovely cards, indeed and being a Moth mad person, the candle card appeals a lot to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yoke. I liked that moth too, it's the second one I have drawn and both have sold, which is nice.
