It is hard to believe we are only five days from Christmas. This time of year, the days are short and the weather is pretty cold around here. I am working occasionally at my indoor "shop", which is a spare room in the upstairs of my house. The bikes are all stored away for the winter.
Around this time every year, I send out my Christmas/holiday type cards. My personal favorites are cards based on the artwork of William S. Rice. William S. Rice was an early 20th century wood cut artist originally from Pennsylvania, but who worked his most productive years based in northern California. He made some beautiful "arts and crafts" style artwork of the mountain west prior to WWII. I'm especially fond of his works in the 1920s and 30s.
Pomegranate Cards makes a wonderful pack of winter/holiday cards based on the works of William Rice. These are my "go-to" cards, which I've used for several years. They're almost a form of fine art on their own.
I find they're the perfect remedy to the proliferation of internet-based, "do it yourself" type cards that people put together using collages of photos of themselves. The Pomegranate/Rice cards are simple and portray the beauty of winter in the western USA, including some wonderful areas of the National Parks. I'd rather that my cards portray the natural beauty of winter.
Packs of these cards are available again through retailers like Amazon, and bookstores like Barnes & Noble.
