From Illustration For Kids!
Second day of Advent |
I painted this watercolour Partridge in a Pear Tree illustration almost a year ago, blogged here. As the festive season is almost upon us once more, I pulled it out of the 'archives' to create some patterns that I'll place on fabric, gift wrap, tea towels, cards, etc ... though it's taking me some time due to the slow internet connection out here in my temporary 'digs'.
Here are the 3 pattern variations:
I then had to figure out a simple coordinating background pattern, and as I love stripes ...
Those stripes could be a tad paler, perhaps? Still, a sweet pattern for Christmas nonetheless? I'm also going to take the partridge off and keep just the pear tree as an all-year-round pattern, I've decided. I like it.
I wish all of you a sweet, colourful, delightful week. If you feel like getting some Christmas shopping done early and are curious as to how the Partridge in a Pear Tree illustration looks on some lovely home wares and gifts, I have the non-stripey ones up already over at Society6, so just click HERE to take a peek. Or HERE for the patterned version. I'll be blogging the cards and gift-wrap papers over at my Floating Lemons Treats blog this coming week. Cheers.
Wasn’t able to squeeze out a doodle today, (hmmm, that didn’t sound quite right, did it?)
Anywho, I thought I’d post this guy from a couple of years ago. Also, it seemed like a wee bit of color was in order.
Hope y’all are having a great holiday season so far!
Why not stop on by here, to see what my fellow doodlers are up to.
Being Santa is hard work. I should know, I was a Santa all day today at the L.A. Santa Con. If you don’t believe me, check it.
Anyway, that’s my excuse for blowing off sketching again today. So here is yet another oldie from last year. Nice to have a wee bit of color here for a change too.
So, I solemnly swear I will post a new sketch tomorrow. No more cheating.
Now, Marion and Laura on the other hand, have some nice, fresh, beautiful sketches for your HoHoDooDa pleasure. So stop on by and say hello.
HISSSSTerical!!! That would be called a Piggy-partridge!
Piggy Partridge! Love the color.
hi Linda, loved all your sketches so far. I listed my blog address as a participant but it doesn’t show up that I can find? Was I too late? Merry Days
matters not either way I am thoroughly enjoying sketching Australian Christmassy things and looking at all the wonderful art from all the other people as well as your own .
hahaha that’s how I felt on Thanksgiving
Thanks Madre. I know, I’m kind of missing doing color. These daily sketches keep a body pretty busy!
Ha! Good one, Susan!
So Sorry Cecilia! The holidays have me on roller skates! I’ll get your name on there now!
Ha ha, me too, Luda!
This is just so good, so funny. I love it.
