Christmas Art

For the last couple years I have been trying to do some kind of artwork with a Christmas theme to use on the yearly Christmas card.  The artwork is also usually a reflection of the type of art I have been doing that year. It could be paper collage, fabric collage, digital art or something else.  This year I have been doing or doodling with watercolor and topographic lines or drawn patterns so I started to try to create something along those lines with a Christmas theme.

These are some of the practice pieces I have been working on:









They were not coming out the way I imagined but they are interesting and I still have a couple more to work on just for the fun of it.




I also though about a doing a tribal design for the tree drawing:


I also think this design could be used to create an interesting Christmas quilt.




But in the end I decided to go with a simple splattered watercolor Christmas tree 



and I digitally enhanced it some in PSE13 after scanning it.  
I even found a cool paint splatter font to use for the text.




Thanks for reading.
