Christmas Tree Farm Poster

A row of watercolour evergreens stretches across a washed grey-beige ground, each tree painted in a different depth of green, from near-black spruce to pale sage. Above them the words CHRISTMAS TREE FARM arch in weathered red capitals over the name of a fictional tree company, with a founding year tucked into one corner. Below the trees a line reads Pine, Cedar, Spruce, Fir, and a final band promises a Christmas market and free cider. The whole surface is scuffed and faded, as though the sign had spent several decades outdoors. The landscape format gives the row of trees room to breathe.

The horizontal shape suits a space that a portrait print would fight, above a doorway, a bench or a long sideboard. Weathered red and green sit comfortably against white walls and natural wood, and the faded ground keeps it from shouting. A simple oak or dark wood frame supports the vintage-sign idea better than anything ornate. It works as the single seasonal piece in a room, which saves decorating the rest.
