Happy New Year! We have snow here in Durham (UK) at the moment, which I love. and It reminds me of happy times skiing in Europe as a child: at midnight, fireworks let off in Alpine villages were wonderfully effective; the colours lit up the white peaks and the sound reverberated around the valley. I drew on those memories to do a watercolour painting (seen below).
I then created a repeat pattern for fabric, which is available here
The fireworks also appear as the illustration for January on my downloadable 2018 calendar.
The beginning of a new year is a good time to set goals and try new things. I have one particular goal, which is to try and draw every day. (‘The work of my hands’ fabric design captures this idea too.) Find the fabric here
If you want to start some new creative activities yourself in the new year take a look at this online course (listed on the Classes page here.)
