Christmas in the North Art Series

Today I want to show what I've been working on most of the week.  I drew a family portrait for a friend, and am having it printed as Christmas cards.  They wanted a winter scene with snowshoes, and had all these great pictures of one of their family tree hunts for me to go from.  I try to draw these in a traditional Canadian style with a modern edge. My depiction of the northern lights is in the sky. Their children, Zion and Henry, are on their backs.

I do custom Christmas or holiday greetings on the inside of the cards.  My friend chose a poem to be printed on the inside.  

As well as the Christmas cards to send out, the family also gets the original 11x14 drawing to frame. I'm offering to do more of these stylized family portraits next year.  The portrait will be $240, plus $2 per card and $20 for 8x10 prints.  At most, I can do one a week for 48 weeks of the year.  If you want to reserve a spot, look on a calendar for 2013 and choose any Friday.  Let me know if you're interested.
