Andrea Strongwater Hoodies

I love flowers and cake and painting. Putting them all together here. A fun piece to celebrate.

Always fun to paint something for the Christmas holiday season.

So much fun to paint Christmas and Holiday designs. I think this elf looks adorable on all kinds of things and brings a chuckle when you see him on mugs, prints, hats, tees, phone cases and more. Nice sticker too!

Love Purple!

Winter is great with sun and snow and ice and Santa's train bringing gifts. Fun to paint a joyous day.

Another version of the pattern in Warm colors. Layered hand drawn prints. I love the texture!

I LOVE color and flowers are a great way to show them off. I loved doing this robust explosion in oil pastel. It looks great on lots of products!

I think about covering my walls with fun quotes I've managed to paint in the brightest colors [\possible. Here's one!

Love playing with pen and ink making patterns! I love the intensity of adding and adding design to more design.

Eat Cake with lots of icing :)

At the end of the book - Princess Ingeborg and the Dragons - Ingeborg inherits the Throne and invites Esmeralda to be her prime minister.

Jewish themed artwork has a place in the world. I love doing images that are contemporary and fit into everyday life.

A sketch from my daily sketch book that makes great pillow, phone cases, mug decor.

The map of the kingdom for Princess Ingeborg and the Dragons. I illustrated this book by Wendy Zomparelli which tells the story of a princess who goes to live with the local dragons. Great story!

I love the painted trucks in india and Pakistan. This ended up what I did with that visual information. I like that it's kind of over the top in color.

These birds were part of an electronic kids book. I loved them so made a pattern and now have it on various items.

This is an image from my daily sketchbook that everyone loves. Daily sketching is a great way to see the world and I wish there was more time to do it. This image is on the path that I walk through Riverside Park that's along the Hudson River

I painted this in the middle of NYC's the stay at home directive during covid-19. I imagined a fun happy party in the woods I so missed exploring.

I love color and Jewels have the best colors of all. Loved making this drawing. done with markers.

In Wendy Zomparelli's book - Princess Ingeborg and the Dragons, Robins have messages tied to their legs that they deliver around the kingdom. Kind of fun and a bit like non-electronic twitter/email/texting.

The Dragon family's cave from Wendy Zomparelli's book - Princess Ingeborg and the Dragons. Great fun for me to illustrate and have fun things to use with the images.

This was an elaboration on a star. turned out peaceful and great for lots of uses.

A sketch from my daily sketchbook. I'm always excited about using these fun pieces in something to look at day to day in everyday surroundings. I hope this one pleases you.

This was a fun project testing out using watercolor pencils. Great color!

I kept a notebook most of last year. Kind of too busy now for daily entries. It was great fun and experimental. I sketched a lot from the gardens on the Promenade in Riverside Park. Here is one bloom that stands for itself. Has a lot of character and I think looks good on lots of products.

I wanted to see how much rich dark color I could get into one painting. This is one from that series

I did a collection of patterns using printing system. Each print layer is one color and then they are layered. Great fun to do and I like the density.

Lots and lots of rich bright color!

This image was inspired by an old mosaic. Even though it doesn't look like a mosaic now it's very appealing and looks great on so many products. I paint with watercolors and save as a digital file for all uses.

Christmas time is so much fun to illustrate. Here's one of my elves - delivering candy,

I love doodling just to see how things will work out. This one turned out to be great fun and exciting to look at. Makes great pillows, prints, laptop and phone covers and lots of other items.
