Midwinter Magic

There is snow on the hills. It is chilly in Canberra. I have been wanting a wintery scene for my Mystical Crow (very working title) illustrations. I've been listening to Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series, the midwinter festivals are very evocative, and the food and drink is frequently described and possibly too well. With that and the frosty temperature outside, I had fun creating this month's Patreon whimsical wallpaper.

This image is a slightly edited version of one of the 12 images I am drawing for a larger project. A 2026 calendar that follows the Crow through various mystical landscapes.
