Description
Happy to announce that "Happy Snowman In The Snow" tied for third place in the 2/12/2023 contest "GREATEST OF ALL TIME SNOW SCULPTURE OR SNOW PEOPLE" held by the "Greatest Of All Time" group. Many thanks to contest administrator, Dr Debra Stewart's Gallery Art Collections, and everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners!!
To walk through the gently sifting snow on a dark winter's afternoon and feel the freedom and sense of exhilaration in the air is the dream of many of us ... maybe a longing left over from childhood days. To see the sky darkening and the quality of the delicate, gentle snow, you know from experience that a big storm is coming. Those deceptive tiny flakes will soon turn into something very different.
But we have time yet. As we approach the top of the hill we are greeted by the welcoming smile of an adorable snowman. Bundled up against the coming blizzard, his warm woolen hat at a jaunty angle, his scarf tied warmly about his neck and his slightly lopsided stick arms wide open as if for a hug, we can't help but smile. Whoever came out here in the middle of the lonely rolling hills, we may never know. But surely the sense of fun and joy and goodwill we feel won't soon fade.
"Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays" versions also available.
"Happy Snowman In The Snow" was hand sketched freehand and painted in Corel Painter 2019 with a Wacom tablet, the art pen and a variety of beautiful digital brushes. Unlike many of my images, there was no photo reference ... just eyeballs and hands!

OMG, Lois, I LOVE this adorable work of art. Snowmen are so cute, but this guy is extra cute. You included a wonderful description to this amazing artwork. f/l
Lois Bryan replied:
Cindy thank you so much for your lovely not ... I adore snowmen ... have a small collection ... this is hand-drawn / sketched from one of my favorites that I actually thought I'd lost and was missing for many years. When I re discovered him last year ... I actually got a bit weepy!!! :D
