I had the opportunity to create this festive card for Southern Bride magazine this season. I had been playing around with sketches for my own holiday card featuring a girl in a candy cane dreamland, and thought this wonderland would be beautiful with a happy bride in her gown and veil, decked out in diamonds, with diamond snow drops falling all around her. This is how it all turned out!
Wishing everyone a fun-filled holiday and a totally fabulous 2009!
“Candy Cane Wonderland”
Watercolor on Paper, 18″ x 24″
Inspirations: Candy Canes, Watermelons, baking sugar cookies and funky cupcakes, “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Mele Kalikimaka” (the Hawaiian Christmas Song)
I’m finally done with my latest illustration! This illustration will accompany a wedding planners memoir that will highlight the best wedding moments of the year. It will be published in Southern Bride Magazine this fall.
I’ve been working on a sketch for Southern Bride Magazine, and will be coloring the illustration today. I thought I’d post my working sketch to illustrate my process…

For the last year and a half, I have been posting paintings to this blog. Since I am doing more and more illustrations these days, I’ve decided to add my illustrations to the blog. From now on, I’ll be posting artwork in various mediums…from oil paintings to watercolors to digital illustrations. So to jump right in, here’s my latest illustration…it was commissioned by Southern Bride Magazine.
