I thought everyone loved snow.
However, when I asked several of my favorite artists to send me a few of their winter scenes to post, I found out otherwise.
Upstate New York artist Ruth Welter is surrounded by so much snow that it fails to inspire her.
“It snows a lot here, but I've never painted any snow,” says Ruth. “Actually, I hate winter. Spring and summer are my favorite seasons.”

www.artfulcreations.blogspot.comLiving in Southern California, Erin Houghton doesn’t paint snow, either. "It's not something I see frequently!"
Donna Longenecker does paint snow. Originally from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, she and her husband moved south and now reside in sunny North Carolina.
Although she professes to enjoy sunshine, gardening, and taking walks with her two dachshunds Otis and Riley, Donna looks forward to snow and runs out to take photos when it appears.
Donna also paints the snow in her garden.
and when it quickly vanishes, she paints her fun-loving pups!

And, while we're talking about pups. Yesterday was my pup's birthday (yes, those are his baby pictures at the beginning of this post. He's the pup in the middle -- one of six!)
HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY BELGIUM!
HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY BELGIUM!
All that partying wears a guy out!

Hi Barbara,
Happy Birthday to your dear Belgium.
Thank you for posting my painting on your blog - I could not be in better company as you have shown some of my very favorite artists and new blog friends.
"I perhaps owe becoming a painter to flowers" Claude Monet - his quote sums up how I feel about painting my beloved flowers.
Have a lovely week.
Erin
Fun post and love the art! I love snow but we seldom get it. We get ice mostly.
Happy Birthday to your darling dog, such a sweet companion. Have a wonderful day!
Hi Barbara,

Donna
