One Sketch 249) Don Blanding

I never wish
For narrow fish
I'm a man who has to say
I'd much prefer a manta ray.

Now that I've completed my self imposed mission to create Christmas cards, I followed today's prompt on Facebook's Sketching Every Day group. This is a copy of a design by American artist Don Blanding. I didn't know his work before, but some of his work I've now seen has this wonderful graphic quality which just lights my candle.

One Sketch 248) Christmas Card 30 - One horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Is a hell of a lot colder
Than a roller.

That's my 30th card for this year. I set myself the target of 25 by the end of November - when I reached the target last weekend I set a new target of 30. That's all I'm going to do for now, although if I have a sudden need for more I have some blanks to work on left.
