We had our first "snow" of the season a week or two ago. It wasn't anything big. It basically just made the ground wet, but was a very strange snow. It was evening and I had to make a quick run to the store. By "run" I mean drive. Anyway, it had been kind of windy most of the night and I do recall seeing a slight chance of a "single" snowflake in the forecast, but it wasn't anything to be concerned with. So, I put on my coat and headed out the door. As soon as I stepped onto the porch I noticed HUGE snowflakes whipping about. "How nice," I thought. I got into the car and headed for the store. By the time I got on the main road, those HUGE, fat snowflakes were falling harder and faster. It almost seemed like a bizzard. The snow was coming down so "thickly" that I couldn't see to drive. It was actually kind of scary. I did make it to the store without incident. When I got out of the car, the ground was just wet, like it had been raining, not snowing, but the snow was still falling heavily. Before walking into the store, I took a few minutes to just stand in the parking lot and look up at the snow filled sky. It was refreshing, and kind of magical. It almost felt like standing in a snow globe. What a nice start to...fall?
Being inspired by the first snow, I came up with some winter illustrations to try and transition myself from Halloween to the winter holidays. I hope you enjoy them! Prints are available in my shop.
