At the top of the Watercolor Style image, Merry Christmas

A sincere, cozy watercolor scene with soft washes, delicate gradients, subtle pigment blooms, and visible cold-press paper texture. Composition: In front of a gently glowing stone fireplace, an older gray-haired woman in a warm yellow knit sweater sits on a patterned rug, cradling a pretty ceramic mug of coffee; steam curls softly upward. She wears a red knit stocking hat with white trim and a pom-pom, the name Phyllis clearly hand-lettered on the brim in painterly white script (slight watercolor bleed, still legible). Beside her sits a small, salt-and-pepper schnauzer, head tilted affectionately, wearing a matching tiny stocking hat with Fritz clearly lettered on the brim in the same style.

The mantel is dressed with evergreen garland, a touch of holly and berries, warm fairy lights, and a couple of stockings; the fire casts a golden, ember-glow. To the left, a tall mullioned window with frosted edges and a hint of condensation frames the snowy outdoors. Outside, bathed in cool winter blues, a brown-haired woman in a cozy coat waves hello through the glass; she wears a red stocking hat with Julie clearly lettered on it. Snow falls softly; a gentle reflection of Julie and snowflakes shimmer on the pane.

Color palette: hearth oranges and candlelight golds contrasted with pine greens, cranberry reds, and serene twilight blues outside. Lighting: warm interior glow on Phyllis and Fritz, cool rim light from the window; soft, diffused shadows. Watercolor technique: wet-on-wet backgrounds for atmospheric softness; wet-on-dry detail for faces, knit textures, the schnauzer’s wiry fur, and the mug’s delicate pattern; edges feather slightly for an airy, organic feel. No harsh outlines.

Ensure all three names—Phyllis, Fritz, Julie—are readable on their hats, in consistent hand-lettered watercolor script. Portrait orientation, full-bleed composition, gentle vignette to draw the eye toward the hearth and window.

Optional small caption in subtle hand-lettered script near the bottom: From our hearth to yours.
