‘I wonder if the snow loves the trees
and the fields, that it kisses them so gently?
And then it covers them up snug,
you know with a white quilt;
and perhaps it says “Go to sleep,
darlings, til the summer comes again.’
…………….Lewis Caroll
I painted this for my daughter. It joins another earlier Christmas piece which only comes to view during the holidays. It’s like bringing out all those ornaments for the tree. Always a bit of magic felt.
I would give to you peace and light for this new year.

So beautiful. In my heart, I’m always covered with animals.
Oh thank you my dear. Can’t have too many animals….especially those that don’t require feeding, etc. I counted all the animals and said WOW. I just kept adding them one after the other. Couldn’t stop myself.

Thanks Hollie. I enjoyed the diversion from my usual creatures. My daughter loves the whimsical, faeries. It was fun.
It is lovely!

Thank you Beth. I loved painting it. It was a fanciful break from my animal portraits.
