Snowy River



Snowy River
8'x10in oil on canvas  SOLD

Artist Note
This is such a busy time of year
and it will most likely be my last post
until after Christmas.
I am grateful to all of you who follow
my blog and provide such wonderful support.
Thank you.

Hope you don't mind a posting
of an older painting. It remains one of my favorite
landscapes. I hope to get back outside
and do some plein air painting in 2020.

Is it too much to hope for 
Peace in the World?
Wherever you live -
 I know we must all wish for it.

May everyone's 
Christmas or Holiday
 be full of joy and love for 
those we care for, as well as those who 
now are only memories in our hearts.
Be safe, be warm and be at peace.
Blessings!

    Would love peace in the world. the optimist in me just wishes that everyone would just get along. the realist in me realizes that isn't going to happen anytime soon :(
    but happy holidays! it not all bad, things are sort of *crosses fingers* going in the right direction in some places :)

      Will we ever have Peace in the world? Now there is quite a profound a question..
      Lets hope for peace in our hearts at least. Quite a lot going on over the pond - each way for both of us. Lets just carry on creating.
      Happy New Year Jennifer.
