Snow Globe

 Shake it up, then

My Weekly-ish Challenge word was "Snow."  As I wrestled with what to paint, I started to realize that I rarely paint winter scenes.  (I'm not counting paintings with a Christmas theme.) As I kept thinking about this, I decided to go back through all my paintings and count. 

15... That's it!  I searched more than once and could only come up with 15!

Out of 760 painting, only 15 depict something wintery! 

15 / 760 = 1.9% ! Why is that?

And, if you look, I've done plenty of images more than once.

Cocoa x2, Red Barns x3, Cardinals x5

I spent way too much time contemplating... ruminating... analyzing  dwelling on this.

Is it because I don't like winter? But, I don't mind winter.

Is it because winter's not very pretty unless there's snow, and we don't get that much snow?

Is it because winter requires cool colors and ends with a cold-looking painting?

Hmmm...

Anyway...a pretty little snow globe... a tiny landscape inside a still life. 

I kind of can't stop looking at it.
