Skating Snowlady Welcome Sign

Another year has passed! Happy New Years everyone. Here's wishing all of you a Happy, Healthy and Creative 2013!

We have a lot of snow here right now and although I'm not a huge fan of snow I do think it's quite pretty - as long as I'm on the inside looking out and not out shoveling! I love to watch the birds in the backyard in the winter. The Northern Cardinals seem so much redder against the white snow. We hang a small beaded cup on one of the stands and fill it with peanuts still in the shell. The blue jays come and sit on the pole and reach down and grab a peanut and fly off. Sometimes there are 4 or 5 blue jays waiting a turn for a peanut and the poor blue jay that is last and the peanuts are gone will sit there and ruffle his feathers in disgust before he flies off.

Well, we have a new welcome sign up for January. This is just your typical tole painting. No fine art applied here but still fun to do.

This is on slate. I have so much more to use up and I'm determined to do so this year. There is obviously some camera glare on this but in real life it is not faded at the bottom.
