A Winter Visit

One of my favorite books that I received as a child was "The Snow Queen and Other Tales". I found myself inspired to make a wintry folktale  style piece not unlike the paintings and illustrations in my book.   Imagery from itkupilli.  For the Art Journal Journey challenge "Winter Wonderland".

Happy New Year 2016!

Time Unveiled

Even the winter woodlands creatures come out to celebrate the New Year!  For both Digital Whisper and TAW challenges this week to celebrate 2016.

Happy and healthy New Year to all!
