WINTER ENCHANTMENT (1997)
Acrylic - 25" x 20"

As we approach the winter solstice, the nights may be getting longer but the days are always full of wonder. That magic of possibilities is what I tried to capture in this painting. 1/3

In a wintry forest scene, a fairy descends on delicate wings to touch the top a snowy evergreen with a long crystal wand. A crystalized snowflake materializes at the tip as a troop of ice fairies dance with ballerina-like grace while adding lights around the tree. A clear patch of ice reflects the small but festive tree. Off to the side, an elf hides in another snow burdened tree holding up the artists MW sigil. The art was intended to fold into a pyramid shaped card so the perspective is a fishbowl-like view of the forest tapering to the full moon that shows through a break in the clouds.

For many years, I created images for the family holiday card. Working with a local printer, I sometimes created unusual designs that could serve as decorations. This design from 1997 folded into a pyramid for display on a table or mantel. 2/3
