2004 Pittam Christmas card, watercolor painting of Heidelberg, the Schloss and the Neckar River Valley

Have you thought about your holiday cards for this year?

As November is now here, most of us will be figuring out what to do for our holiday card mailings this year. Every year, I create our family’s Christmas card by painting a favorite winter scene, which means that everyone on our list receives a little piece of custom artwork. I’d be happy to help you do the same thing for your cards!
