we are getting our first real snow, this morning. it looks as though it might stick for a while. hot coffee and a warm cat would be good. have too many tasks right now, though, to it will be coffee on the run, and an afghan on the couch for the old cat...
still haven't mailed that infernal box, but i will! hang in there. i hate that my job has eaten my life. it will get there, though. i promise!
and if your prang box goes mia again, threaten it that you have a source for another one, so it needs to behave. (my mom had several of them in her "stash"...we has our sources, y'know!)
I'm sitting in front of the computer, ostensibly working (though obviously writing you, right now*G*)with a fleece afghan and a little space heater...brrrr!
We are having slushy snowfall here today. Though I love the gradual creeping of winter, a full-on pile of snow is a daunting thought. But your painting is so pretty. That shade of blue-ish snow takes hold of everything here by January. It must be time to dig out my sweaters from their summer storage.
I do love this, Kate, and have a question on the little branches down in the front. When I've seen this done by other artists it always looks pasted on or like a bad afterthought to take up white space. Yours does not - any special trick to this?
Hi Laure...I'm not really sure, I just placed them logically, allowed some variation in tone, and where they came out of the snow, made a darker shadow so it would make sense. Does that help any?

I've been switching out the fall clothes for days now! Sweaters rock, fleece is even better!
