If I had time I'd probably go back through the archives to see if this is the latest I've ever posted the Christmas card. If it's not the latest, it's probably tied for the latest. Whooosh!
I'd originally planned to paint this fun picture of Short Round, but as I sketched it out on my iPad and started figuring out the colors on there, I really liked it just as it was so decided to just go with it and use it as an exercise to learn more about Procreate, which is a fun art program built for Apple devices.
This was my hope when I finished out the 20 year series of folk art farm cards last year. Mostly I was out of new story lines, but also I wanted the opportunity to learn some new skills. Once it was finished I realized I could still draw the back as an outline and it would probably work as a cute rug pattern, which is something else I'm hoping to learn more about.
This has been a hard year for so many people. I hope this funny old ewe brings you some joy and the silhouettes of sheep grazing in the moonlit sky behind her bring you some peace. The inside of the card this year says "Merry and Bright".
