SNOW DAY

Yesterday, we had the first real snow fall of the winter.

With the house – and road -- blanketed in fluffy white stuff, I spent time frolicking in the backyard with Belgium and catching up on e-mails.

An e-mail from artist Anna James came with several attachments… images of her works that capture the wonders of winter.

Anna’s photographs and Primitive Folk Art style paintings are inspired by her simple country lifestyle.
Her hand-built log home, friendly Jersey cow, boisterous flock of fowl, seasonal pumpkin patch and family of cats frequently appear in Anna’s works.


To see more, visit her online gallery at www.britewoodart.com.

Matthew Kenney, one of my fellow authors at Gibbs Smith, recently posted about the First Snow in Maine. Don’t miss his gorgeous photos and wise words.

Thank you for these links. Love the artwork. We were also excited to have our first snow day, but it turned into a foggy slush day over here at the Jersey Shore.

That Belgium, so frisky in the snow. It's 80 here, if you can believe it. Our Beau would much rather play in snow, too.

Anna's Art is beautiful - and Belgium looks like he is having a grand ol' time! Still cold at night here, but warming up in the afternoon. No snow, which is fine with me! Hope you are doing well B ~ xoxo
