Winter Trees

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014 - Hope all of you survived the ice storms and power outages and we are all back to "normal". The only good thing about the horrible winter storms is the ability to have some new material and photos to paint - if you were lucky enough to watch from indoors all cozy by the fire and have your shelter, heat and food, you would appreciate the beauty and know that we can somehow take away a bit of positive from it all.
My parents suffered tremendously and so many others have suffered true devastation. We saw streets with driveways full of trees on cars and houses with trees on them and ice and cars in ditches and we ourselves experienced it all with my parents and it was worse than I could ever have imagined and cannot describe 
I hope this gives some of you a bit of winter's positive side and the glory of the snow and ice 
This is a second one in the series ... the first was "Winter Wonderland" and this matching 5 x 7 is called "Winter Trees"
both available as originals, prints and reproductions - enjoy

Merry Christmas Everyone - Stay Safe in this Ice Storm!!

We have had snow every day for three weeks straight (or longer) and it is piled high to the sky... there is nowhere to put it all and now with the ice storm and high winds and colder temperatures, I hope everyone is safe and can make it through alright - I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas - hopefully you have a wood burning fireplace or access to a warming centre.
