Christmas Hidden Picture Puzzle

I just completed a new hidden picture puzzle for Jennifer Newbold, a client who plans to send it out with her Christmas cards this year. All the hidden items are things that have meaning for her family this year. I didn’t get an explanation for all of them, but for one example, the family took a special trip to Canada this summer. So, she wanted to hide a Canadian flag.

As always, I am open for commissions.

There are two cats, one looking out the window.  Outside is a snowy night scene.  There is a couch with a guitar and a coffee table with a cup of cocoa and a jigsaw puzzle.  Hidden items include:  golf club, musical note, acai bowl, heart, taco, paintbrush, mortarboard, Christian cross, coffee cup, pointe shoe, and a Canadian flag. A picture frame on the wall contains the words, "Newbold Family Gifts of 2024". 

A line of text at the bottom reads, "Copyright (c) 2024 Jennifer Newbold.  All rights reserved."

Poinsettia

I think this is going to be my holiday card image this year.

Ogerita Christmas Card

My Dad wanted a Christmas card based on the Ogerita trolley car I just finished.  So, I Christmased-up the trolley for him.  The card’s here on my Zazzle store, in case anyone else would like one.

Happy Holidays!

We’ve been ice skating a lot this year, so I drew this.

Christmas in May

It’s just about summer, so it’s time to draw Christmas illustrations! I’ve been working on some line drawings for a Christmas-themed activity book for Educate.ie, an Irish educational publisher. It may seem odd to draw Christmas pictures this time of year, but if you want everything ready in time for the Christmas season, you have to get things done way ahead of time.

Here are a couple of things I just finished.

Connect the dots.

Four presents.

Elf on the Shelf

Creepy Elf 500Okay, personally, I think the idea of an elf on the shelf is just super-creepy. Creepier than the idea that one old man knows when you’re sleeping and when you’re awake. I mean, it’s an apparently inanimate object that’s spying on you all day and then going off to report on you at night. How is that not creepy?

But, here you go. A perfectly nice, ordinary, non-creepy, elf spy on the shelf.
