2023 Seasonal Storefront Watercolors Calendar by Tiffany Duffy
Hello friends! I'm so happy to announce that my 2023 calendar is finally ready for purchase! If you've been following along with me on Instagram, you know I've been working on these paintings for over a year now, and I'm thrilled to finally put them all together in the gorgeous calendar.
The Idea:
My goal of creating a calendar began during my isolation period when I had Covid for the first time in November, 2021. I created my first storefront, a Thanksgiving themed antique store, as a way to celebrate the holiday that I was missing out on! I started thinking about how many holidays and special days the pandemic had taken from people who may be in quarantine, those unable to risk large gatherings, shops that had to scale back on festivities, and towns that just weren't seeing the holiday traffic and celebrations that normally livened up their streets. I decided I wanted to create a way for people to enjoy these seasons, even if it was only through artwork. I committed to painting one detailed storefront each month featuring little signs of the seasons in their window displays. And, I added in some sort of fitting, cute animal to each painting to give them a little life!
I hope you take some time to visit my imaginary town of shops and do some window shopping! Get a bit lost in the details of each month and enjoy the feeling of each store. Especially if you are someone who can't get out to enjoy them in person for whatever reason, I hope some of the joy I had in creating these gets passed along to you, and you can find adventure through the art.
Purchasing:
Printed perfectly by zazzle.com, the calendars come in various sizes and styles. I've created a highlight on my Instagram @designsbytiffanyduffy if you're interested in seeing the comparisons.
I recommend the large, two page calendar for the best viewing of all the little details that I snuck into each storefront! This is also the best option if you'd like to frame any of the prints!
The single page, medium calendar is another great option. Printed front and back, this is a lightweight calendar that doesn't have biding through the middle.
The calendars come with many choices for languages, cultures, holiday settings and binding colors. You can even customize them using Zazzle's design tool to add in special events like birthdays, anniversaries, or other important days you want to remember!
