snow days are the best days


Today was so beautiful. I woke up and looked outside and everything was covered in white powdery snow. There was no going to work for me today, and no going to school either for August. I watched the news and watched stranded cars, dented and sad, and traffic moving terribly slowly… August and I were nice and warm and safe here in our house sipping hot chocolate. I don’t particularly have a death wish, my cars are old and don’t take too well on icy roads, so I’ll call out from work because I don’t feel like risking my life or August’s, or yours. Then I get another day to draw and paint and drink hot chocolate with my son and make footprints in the snow. By the looks of the roads outside now, I think tomorrow will be the same. I love the snow. YAY!

I’ve had the idea for a horse girl for awhile. My mother always immersed me in horses because I was born in the year of the Horse. I always felt kind of awkward and horsey, so I wanted to draw a little horse girl. I actually started a horsey painting first, but finished this drawing first. She’s available in my shop now, and prints will be there soon too!
Happy Snow Day!
