Radio City Music Hall, NYC

My Christmas leftover! Every year I make a pilgrimage to view the Holiday decorations at the Rockefeller Center Complex. I was surprised to see that the Radio City Music Hall wasn’t adorned with her toy soldiers. Instead gold numbers announcing the 75th anniversary of its signature show, the Christmas Spectacular, was in its place! In celebration of this achievement I rendered this years garnishes and added some of the soldiers from years past! The Hall is located on Sixth Avenue between 50th and 51st streets.

Santa and His Elves

We have about seventeen weeks to go until Christmas. But I had so much fun creating this years card, "Santa and His Elves", that I felt it was time for its release. The idea behind the card began while researching my father's family tree and seeing our tartans. I wanted the horses and blankets to represent the countries of my ancestors: The Shetland Pony from Scotland, The Connemara from Ireland, The Welsh Pony from Wales and The Shire from England. The Shire in my eyes made a perfect Santa and his blanket reminds me of both Santa's robe and the uniform of the Queen's Palace Horse Guard. Enjoy!
