“I wanted to take on the story where Rudolph’s bright nose guides him through a winter storm. In this illustration, Rudolph is still in his youth, prancing through a storm on his little hooves with no fear. Big, blue eyes, and the patterns on his coat are my favorite details. It took around 7+ hours to create the snow and rosemaling pattern that makes up his white coat. If you look closely, you will find snowflakes and the echo of Norwegian rosemaling. “
