I finished a painting the other day. I have named him 'Winter King' seen here in a wintry collage.
I'm sure Winter will inspire some more icy work yet, so watch this space. 'Winter King' is available to buy as a print in my Etsy shop here. Last posting date is tommorow, so there is still a teeny bit of time to buy if you are still looking for gifts.
It's raining today but I'm wishing for more frosty weather, as in the picture above, taken last week.
I suppose being mild is easier on the heating bills though, that's one good thing...

Thanks Daisy! Merriest of sparkly wishes to you and yours too. x
DeleteAnother beautiful painting Karen. I am so pleased your music is back too!
ReplyDeleteI have hung my polar bear once more and sent my cards, all but one, well I had to keep at least one.
Thanks Valerie. Yes, I managed to find a new music player that seems to be working ok. I also find it hard to give away cards sometimes too. There are so many beautiful images but not enough room on walls to display. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your painting of the winter king. However your photograph of that tree made my heart sing.
ReplyDeleteI like your Winter King and that magnificent tree in the last photo. Your trees are resisting the mistletoe, perhaps for good reason.
ReplyDeletei am back in wintery Finland for Yule time from England. While i was walking in the English woods i tried to look for a mistletoes, but no luck.
ReplyDeletei can not wait to order one of your prints when i go back to England, my home need magic in there.
your blog is such a magic place Karen!
Mistletoe is very magical, it has that other worldly quality to it in the way in which it seems to be trasnslucent. Love your Owl King!
ReplyDeleteHe's beautiful - I am looking forward to some more of those frosty icy mornings. Betty
ReplyDeleteFrost paints a magickal, mystical atmosphere, so even though we don't want the big heating bills, we love the look! I love your Winter King, so perfect. Happy Holidays

Thank you for sharing your gift and bringing joy to so many, I wish you and yours a very peaceful,joyful and inspiring Christmastime. Continued success, delighted to have found your blog. Best wishes :)
ReplyDeleteHi Karen - a magical and inspiring holiday season to you. Winter King is lovely. I've been drawing owls with a bit of an obsession going for a few weeks now. Unfortunately, I won't have time in the studio now until almost New Year. Hate to squelch the urge to work, oh well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding your particular magic to the world.
I love your artwork! The Winter King is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's a coincidence that you mention mistletoe today...I posted some pictures on my blog this morning of mistletoe growing in trees around my neighborhood. It is plentiful in this area.
Winter King is a beautiful painting. As is a frost covered landscape. A drive over the moors last week took us through a wonderful scene - every field and tree was thick with hoar frost - quite magical. And I didn't have a camera with me!
ReplyDeleteWinter King is majestic and beautiful.....
ReplyDeleteThere is some thing very special about Mistletoe, Karen.
Thanking you always for very special posts!~ Sending Christmas 'Twinkles' to you *********
Love Maria x

ReplyDeleteI've never seen a mistletoe, hope i will one day :)
I've seen a hawthorn though for the first time, while i was in England, so beautiful!
I love the Winter King!

Beautiful! That owl is so elegant and wise. And the crown really suits him:)
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that mistletoe as well. I've never seen it so close up, but I love those translucent little berries!
