Bright Winter Moon

Bright Winter Moon - oil on wood - 12 x 16
Hello there! It's great to be back online again. Our internet was 'knocked out' for 5 days while we experienced the effects of an ice storm that moved through our area a few days before Christmas... a very small sacrifice compared to the thousands of households that were without power (in Toronto) and still are.  It will be a memorable holiday season for many, memorably miserable for some.  I worked on this little painting last week, but was unable to post it after we lost our signal. I had first thought I would paint snow falling, but then decided the moon was more of the star(little celestial joke) in this case....so added the cat as a bridge,  linking the house and the moon.  I got the idea from Miss Puss(my daughters cat) who was visiting us during the holidays.

  3. Beautiful painting Sally. I love it. We lost our power for 3 1/2 days and we were lucky. I have a friend who lost it for 8. It did make Christmas a challenge, but the light and heat came on for Christmas, and we appreciated all of it so much.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    XOXOXO Barbara
