My Happy Whimsical Folk-art Style

I remember the winters of my youth with great fondness ... laughing and playing in the snow with family and friends; cold wet mittens from packing too many snowballs and rosy red cheeks; being terrified to toboggan down that big hill, but screaming with delight all the same for doing so; skating on a rink Dad made and coming in from the cold to sip on a mug of Mom’s hot cocoa ... these are the things captured forever in my heart ......

..... The Snow People make these moments come alive again. In 1996 these little characters sprang to life one day as I sat down to paint, my memories from the past brought back to life for others to see and enjoy.

I hope The Snow People bring a smile to your face and bring back to life some memories of your youth.
