Gift Tags and Stickers & A Throwback Thursday Painting

"Christmas in June" - 6 x 6" original watercolor on paper
package of 24 gift tags with envelopes
sheet of 24 "Jolly Old Elf" stickers

I just mailed out the door prize from my Holiday Open Studio. The prize consisted of this original holiday themed watercolor on paper (a bit of a throwback from a couple years ago), a package of gift tags and a package of stickers. I think this was a good gift don't you?

I have a few packages of gift tags and stickers left over and have just uploaded them to my website. I think they'll really make a splash on packages and holiday envelopes. Zoom on over to my site for a closer look and to purchase.

Christmas Paintings

"Deerfield Christmas"
14" x 11"
(watercolor on aquabord)

Bricks, bricks and more bricks!  I can't tell you how long these took . . . it was crazy-making.  I don't know why I labor so long, but I do. For a while, the pushing around of pigment is fun . . . almost meditative . . . but then it becomes so tedious and boring I can barely force myself to finish. 

"A Jolly Old Elf"
12" x 12"
(watercolor on aquabord)

Santa came together pretty quickly, but as I got closer to finishing, I did lots of work on details and bringing out the pigments of his skin.

I'm planning on having cards made up of both of these prints for Christmas cards.  I'll be sure to share those with you when they come in.  :)

Thank you for stopping by.
