Snow Day

16 x 20 We just survived the snowiest February in 70 years here in the Seattle area. Over 20 inches within about a week! Seattle normally averages 0.7 inches of snow in February--and 5 inches total per year! This was crazy! There were power outages caused by branches breaking under the sheer weight of the snow. For several days, the entire city came to a standstill. Which was kind of magical, really. This sweet painting was born out of a snow day memory made right here in my yard on Bainbridge Island. A spontaneous playdate between two neighbors, Evelyn and Clarence. Keep warm and cozy out there.
