When my nephew visited us for the 2024/2025 holiday season, we were hoping for a white Christmas and/or a snowy New York.

We didn’t get either, but we did find snow!

At Whistler and Grouse Mountain.

At Whistler, it snowed as we were leaving. We were blanketed with huge, soft, floaty snowflakes (my favourite sort!).

At Grouse, we walked through the trees, and my nephew built a little snowman, cute as could be, about as tall as his hand.

And snuggled him into a nook in a tree.

His little snowman inspired this painting.

Acrylic on canvas 30.5 x 30.5 cms (12×12 inches) by Arwen Munro, June 2025. Painted at Crush of Colour, St Stephens Anglican Church, Ambleside, West Vancouver, Canada.

I painted this one a while ago, but I wasn’t ready to share him until now.

Isn’t life funny? One minute we feel one way, and the next, another.

Have a wonderful day! ❄️
