Christmas Geese nursery rhyme watercolor card

You don't have to be a silly goose to appreciate this childlike 5x7 goose Christmas watercolor card. Printed on 80# white paper; comes wrapped in cellophane with an included envelope. One of the artist's first Christmas cards and one of her perennial favorites. The nursery rhyme dates back hundreds of years.  The artist drew the geese and duck from her own live models.  The collection of strange hats gives this a nostalgic, English, 20th-century feeling.  Hand-lettered with detailed ink and watercolor drawing,

Christmas is coming,
The geese are getting fat,
Please put a penny in an old man's hat.

The Goose Christmas watercolor card would be perfect for a child (or anyone who appreciates whimsy during the season). It resembles the artist's locally popular children's books.  You may wish to collect this card (and similar work found here) and frame it rather than sending it!  Here's these charming animals - proud and arrogant geese vs. humble and generous duck - and a new take on a medieval rhyme.
