In Washington County, Maine, nothing says winter's almost here, more than a flock snow buntings over red blueberry fields. 'Twas the inspiration for this third Maine animals-in-winter-themed seamless pattern design. Planning sets of holiday cards for next year.

A late summer boat ride, after the puffins and terns had left, was the inspiration for my second wintery seamless illustration, featuring Maine animals. Far fewer species in the off season, but we've got some good ones. Harbor seals and herring gulls are pretty reliable, and always adorable .

Started some Maine animal, holiday-themed seamless designs a little late in the game this year. Chickadees and Winterberry is the first of a few, and will be available on fabric, as cards and more for Christmas, 2024.

An hour into drawing this pine grosbeak, one showed up at my feeder for the first time!  Got the best looks I’ve even gotten.  Time to draw some rarer birds.
