I've spent much of my time in the mountains, staying sometimes in tents, lean to's, under the stars.....and in rustic back country cabins. The painting "Snowed In" was painted after a stay in a back country wardens cabin in Banff National Park on New Years Eve. That day 6 of us skied in and it was -30c! We had a pulk (sled) we pulled with food, wine and all the essentials to survive in a very cold environment. When we got to the cabin it was iced over and deathly cold, but once we got the stove going, cleared a path to the frozen river for water and dried out our gear it was heaven. Later in the evening after dinner we went for a ski in the light of a full moon, and a white owl soared above us looking for its evening meal.
"Snowbound" is a haven, a place where you are safe and warm, with family and friends, celebrating the Holidays.
I thank you for following my Posts these past few months. I look forward to showing you my paintings in the New Year.
Merry Christmas, and have a healthy and Happy New Year!

This is beautiful, and would make a great Christmas Card.
