It was great to have finished 9 assignments for my client, the illustrator Jennifer Orkin Lewis (August Wren) on March, 26th 2021. She emailed to say “They all look fantastic, Thanks Pat!”. Here are 3 of the original paintings of Jennifer’s that I had to adapt into half-drop repeating patterns. Hopefully, I can show you the finished patterns when the fabrics and products are launched. Jennifer created the paintings recently for an online “Aquarius Zodiac” art challenge.
Here is Jennifer’s painting called “Mystic Eyes”. In the digital file that she sent me there was an additional layer that was a handpainted background layer. First I made a half-drop repeat pattern with the eye, flower and plants motifs. Then I made a separate repeat area with the painted background. Then I made the two repeats areas the same size and dragged the background layer across to the Photoshop file that had the eye motifs.

Here is a painting by Jennifer called “Mystical Symbols”. It has wonderful blue tones. I particularly like the motif of the hand with henna decoration holding the flower. I also like the snake and magic brew pot. All of these motifs are fun to work with. I rearrange them so that they form a repeating pattern that is pleasing to the viewer.

“Aquarius” is another painting by Jennifer that she asked me to duplicate and arrange to form a repeating pattern. This was quite a difficult task because she wanted the mermaids to face in different directions. Luckily Jennifer sent me a digital Photoshop file where all the different motifs in the design were on separate layers. This gave me lots of flexibility to move the motifs around and eventually make a repeating pattern that looked natural and harmonious. Jennifer was very pleased with the finished design. She said ““My client loves them and especially Aquarius!”
