Description
Snow and ice storms are hardly uncommon in a New England winter, but usually after an ice storm it gets warm enough for the ice to melt before we get more snow. This winter has been different. We had an ice storm last week and it's stayed cold, so when it snowed on Christmas Day there was still plenty of ice on the tree and shrub branches.
This cluster of snow of the leaves of our PJM rhododendron, with lots of ice as well, really caught my eye. The background was distracting so after using Topaz Impression to get a painterly look, I added a couple of textures from Jai Johnson's winter collections and one from French Kiss Textures.

I love the focus of the snow on the leaves and the treatment to the background is fantastic! This beautiful art is a perfect statement piece for a feature wall :)

I'm just so happy to see you here, and can't believe you took the time to comment on my work dear Anita. Everyone who knows you loves you and totally understands, don't ever feel bad about that, even though I do know how you feel, we are both too silly because in truth the people who matter just want to tell you they love your work and expect nothing in return. Have a very beautiful weekend sweet friend, and just feel good and strong. Love you always. A beautiful work of art, like your entire amazing gallery is. I really miss the snow, we did not have any last year.
