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!

Warrior of Peace


For the Digital Whisper challenge "What meaning does Christmas have for you"?  For me it is a time of peace, of reflection, a coming together as one; and carrying forth the promise of living this way throughout the new year.
