Description
The Christmas decorating committee have outdone themselves this year in the Village of Fox Creek. Everyone including the surrounding community have decked the halls, houses, bridges, etc. with evergreen boughs, wreaths, and bright red ribbons. A large wreath on each end of the covered bridge invites people into the village. Families, tired from shopping, have stopped in at Jake's Fine Dining. You can see the silhouettes of customers through the windows. Next door at the "Knit Wit Yarn Shoppe", students have gone home after an evening knitting and socializing. Note the large knitting needles and yarn attached to the top of the sign. Guests at Fox Creek Inn are enjoying hot apple cider and cookies before a roaring fire. Outside streetlights create a warm glow as a couple pass arm in arm over the bridge. A snowman behind the village waves happily with his red mittens.

Hi Lois, I'm definitely old enough to remember those! I'm so glad that I could bring back those wonderful memories for you. I paint scenes that bring back memories for me too. I love to depict life in a simpler times in my paintings. It makes me happy when I paint and dream about the people living there.

Catherine, I think I may have figured out a tiny part of my fascination with these wonderful scenes of yours ... when I was little, at Christmas my mom would let me decorate a shelf with cotton balls, and those wonderful old cardboard houses with the glitter snow (are you old enough to remember them??) and the glitter-snow trees ... it was SO much fun ... I'd make a dark blue construction paper background and sides and hang snowflakes (tied to string and hung with a thumbtack) ... a tin-foil lake ... everything I could thing of ... I think your wonderful snow images must remind me of those!!! Of course, YOUR images look a WHOLE lot better, lol!!!!!! Thanks for the memory, sweetie!!!!!
