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.
