Snow, Snow Go away!
Can we have any uglier weather? Fog, snow, rain and just plain old garbage, I realize somewhere at this very moment that people are out listening to the surf, beer or margarita in hand, and watching the pelicans hunt the fish…and I am stuck in Chicago!
I sent this enamel painting down to Missouri, where they obviously miss the snow! I obviously do not! My husband plows snow for the Village, and I know he certainly doesn’t as I can hear the snores escalating as he falls to sleep for the third time today, after missing the entire half of Super Bowl XLII, because he was plowing!
I miss the cats and the deck with a twelve pack of corona light, and my friends down there!
Done on a six paned old antique window with mullions in tact, these two sweet chickadee’s and chipmunk look over the holly and the berries.
I used a thick enamel paint to create the mounds of snow below the 3 furry friends. With a bit of silica sand added in, adding a glistening effect on the holly and spread through out the painting.

…Thanx fer the drive-by at my ‘unattended-blog’ as it were lately. BUT, this is an extremely excellent piece you have conjured and created … i also so dig yer sketches, besides the fact i’m as well into Stevie Ray and Hendrix and anyone that can just let it all go loose free and simply express yourself, for yourself first and foremost. You were most def gifted with artistic expressionism and wishes for the best of luck w/yer endeavors !! Rawwwk’it harrrd ~julian
