A Christmas Card

Merry Christmas!

My Christmas card to you faithful readers: "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas"--and this beautiful painting inspires me. Wishing you and all your loved ones the joy, love and peace of Christmas--now and throughout the New Year.

Merry Christmas to All!

We won't have snow where I live this year, but "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas"--and these beautiful paintings inspire me. Wishing you and all your loved ones the joy, love and peace of Christmas--now and throughout the New Year.

Snowed In!

"La Charette", Claude Monet, 1867

Many of us in the southeast US are snowed in today...thanks to an unusual winter storm path. What better time to enjoy looking at some of the great Impressionist paintings of snow scenes? Thanks to Huff Harrington Fine Art for this wonderful post, which takes us on a winter wonderland tour of some favorite paintings.
