Description My Christmas card this year! Mom let me design them (after a little misunderstanding... heh) But here it is! C:

The inside said: "Hoping your Holidays are filled with Love, Laughter, and Joy"

And so I spread those same wishes to you!

Time: 2 hours
Media: watercolors + watercolor pencils

"Walking in the Air" - The Snowman

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

Far across the wold
The villages go by like trees
the rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams

Children gaze open mouth
Taken by suprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes

We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly


Inspired by Raymond Briggs' story (and film) The Snowman

One day when I had my digital camera with me. I think it was one of the lectures we had on Japanese art when we were sitting in the courtyard? Maybe?
