A New Winter Painting

I couldn't believe it got down in the 40's last night. I had to plug in my little space heater for a little bit today because I can't paint when my hands are shaking. Therefore, due to this cooler weather I decided to do a winter scene today. I forgot how much fun it is to paint snow. It's like drizzling frosting here and there!
"Godliness" was listed on eBay this evening.
This little 4 inch x 4 inch painting is one of a series of paintings that I started last year. The difference is that these will be painted on box style canvas instead of the tiny wood pieces. These paintings will incorporate words from the Bible and their meaning from the Bible Concordance. This information will be included in a certificate of authenticity which accompanies the painting.
Frank and Nancy sit by the fire each evening reading and just being happy for the comfort of their warm little cottage that the Lord has provided for them. They love the beauty of each little snow flake that gathers together forming a large blanket upon the earth.

  2. I think you should have your characters bound into a book where we can all read more about them. I love the glimpses into their cozy lives.

  5. I love the snow, we didn't have snow here in the Uk until easter this year - but we can still hope for that white Christmas! (The only time I can ever remember a white xmas was my son's first, he was six months old. Although he can't remember now, it seemed really special to us!) It's been really cold here the last two weeks, with a wind coming down from the arctic - it feels like autumn all of a sudden!

  7. I am not quite ready for winter yet but if I were I'd like it be in a cozy cottage such as the one you painted and blanketed in with snow while being warmed with a thankful heart!

    40! Yikes! It is just dropping towards the 70's here and still quite green. We have got to make a trip further north to see that fall really is here!

    Have a wonderful week!
