It started with a simple walk. I spotted a cluster of bright red berries clinging to bare winter branches, their color glowing against the pale sky. There was something quietly joyful about them, a reminder that nature doesn’t lose its magic when everything else fades to white and grey.

Back in my sketchbook, I began to paint. Each berry took shape in watercolor washes of crimson and coral, layered with soft shadows and tiny stems. The result was a pattern that feels both organic and playful - a little ode to winter’s hidden color palette.



Turning this painting into a seamless design was like arranging a dance of color and rhythm. I wanted it to feel light and airy,  berries scattered naturally across the surface, just as you’d find them on a snowy walk.

Each cluster was carefully placed to create movement and balance without losing that hand-painted feel. The gentle variations in red tones give it depth and texture, so whether you view it up close or from afar, the watercolor character remains.

To me, these berries represent quiet resilience — beauty that endures through the cold months. They remind us that even in winter, there’s color to be found, waiting just beneath the frost.

That sentiment is what I hope this pattern brings into your home: a touch of brightness, a whisper of nature, and the promise of warmer days to come.
