The Christmas of Angels by Ivan De Battista

My desk and my lovely watercolours

The two cheeky angels, the main characters of the story

Recently I've been working on another project with Midsea Books called The Christmas of Angels written by Ivan De Battista. It's involved lots of research into Maltese Christmas traditions which was fascinating. I'm currently painting the finished illustrations before collaging them all together in photoshop.

In the photographs you can see my little studio (the garden shed). It's been great to spend so much time there this week, especially as it has been raining so much. I've been watching Larkrise to Candleford whislt I paint.
