Christmas illustrations for Kew magazine

It was an absolute joy to paint these Christmas Wreaths for Kew Gardenā€™s magazine, Kew. It combines my love for all things Christmas, with a love for Kew itself. In fact, I visited Kew gardens the same week that I was contacted by the art director. A lovely coincidence!

The article was a step-by-step guide on how to build your own Christmas Wreath using foliage from your garden, along with dried orange slices, and bundles of cinnamon sticks. The perfect craft for Christmas. Since completing the commission, I have even ordered my own fresh foliage and moss ring to get crafty in December.

Iā€™m hoping to get my hands on a copy of the magazine, and share some picture of it in print. But for now, here are some photos of our autumnal trip to Kew, with a quick stop past the Gruffalo trail (of course).
