Well we made it through another Christmas. Happy kids, worn-out parents, gifts, too much food--the works. I thought for this topic I would pick the painting we used for this years Christmas card.
I thought it was nice and Christmasy, and because today is also the start of Kwanzaa, I figured this is a nice added bonus. It is an image from Santa's Kwanzaa, a children's book I did last year. See, two holidays with one stone.
We don't celebrate Kwanzaa, but I did enough research on it while illustrating the book that I think we could. Here are a few other pictures form the book. My wife actually painted this last one. She sat next to me and I told what to do. I think it turned out pretty good.
I hope everybody is having a wonderful holiday season. Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog. I've been able to meet a lot of great people here and I hope it will continue into the new year.

I love all of the illustrations, they are excellent! Wonderful colours and characters. I looked at your site and it's great! My younger brother and sister both went to BYU. I have spent many childhood summers and even a couple winters in Provo, Springville and Spanish Fork. You and your wife are very talented! I hope you have a very Happy New Year!

Great Work,
I really like your style and colour choices.
I'm curious to know what medium you use and your approach to painting? I read in one of your blogges you use a tonal value to start out your paintings.
Great colors. I especially love the reindeer at the light switch. Your blog is one of my favorites.
Happy New Year.
