Winter Snow Globe
We were having some winter weather here in New
Mexico when I was contemplating this piece.
It was a semi-snowy, icy day, full of sleet, and it just felt so cold
looking out the window of my studio and home.
Because of the icy sleet, I didn’t venture out to photograph scenes, but
instead looked back on some images from other winter storms, and found this
wonderful image of a willow tree in a past storm. The day today was sort of snow globe-like,
altho no snow stuck to the ground. The
snow and ice just sort of blew around, reminding me of a snow globe. For this piece, I used some sheet music as a
foundation piece, and then layered that with a Citra Solv background piece I
created a while ago. It has a bit of
text in there, but the reason I chose it is because it helps to create the
snow-globe effect. Specialty brushes add
some nice touches to finish off the piece.
Hopefully, this piece makes you want to snuggle up with a comfy throw
wrapped around you, a good book to read, and maybe even a lovely fire in the
fireplace.

Enjoy!
