I went through the archives looking for anything seasonal but there are no white Christmases where I live. This sketch of a snow drifted bridge in Idaho was the best I could come up with.

Happy Holidays!

If you'll allow an occasional digital sketch thrown in with the usual watercolor and gouache pieces, this is done in Art Rage and Photoshop. It did begin as an on location gouache sketch but I ended up messing around with it digitally.
