Snow on the Great Lawn

After the most recent snowfall in New York City, I walked through Central Park to the Great Lawn. The snow looked like an inviting down blanket covering the lawn. The trees danced in the background with their barren branches. The midtown skyscrapers sparkled in the morning sunlight. The entire scene was so peaceful and wintery.

Snowman

New York City received a light dusting of snow today. It reminded me of all the snowmen dotting Central Park after the blizzard.

Winter Meal

Hot Cup of Tea

What better way to enjoy a chilly winter day, then with a hot cup of tea while watching the snow fall. What is your favorite way to enjoy a snowstorm?

Snow Falling over NYC

Thankfully, there is no snow falling over NYC ... yet! Here's a sneak peak at my newest work for my 2010 holiday collection. Stay tuned for more!

Morning Snow

We received another snowfall in New York City. In the morning, the snow blanketed the roofs of apartment buildings, making the city look enchanted. I am working now on a series of collages that portray the city from inside apartments. In this piece, made of gouache-painted paper, I chose to depict the snowstorm looking out from the comfort of home, with a hot cup of tea and fresh fruit.

Snowy Day at Home

The best place to be on a snowy, stormy day is at home! Yesterday, New York City received nearly a foot of snow. After trekking through the icy sidewalks, I arrived home and embraced its warmth and comfort. Looking out the window at the swirling gusts of snow descending on the city, it felt like there was no better place to be in the world than home with a steamy, hot cup of tea!

Magical Snowfall

I think there is something magical about snow falling in the city. The snow transforms the city into a peaceful, sparkling wonderland. At a time of year when the city feels particularly bleak and gray, the snow symbolizes hope, beauty and tranquility.

Empire State in Snow

This morning, I awoke to a city transformed by a graceful snowfall. In the early morning hours, the city felt peaceful. I tried to capture the view from my window with the Empire State obscured by a blanket of gently falling snow.

Christmas Tree

The first snowfall of the season transformed the city this weekend into a winter wonderland! This is a scene of Central Park in the snow with a Christmas tree in the foreground.

The Perfect Tree

Over the last few weekends, Christmas tree sellers have magically appeared on street corners up and down Broadway. It's entertaining to watch families choose the perfect tree. Children enjoy this unique city festivity immensely. Scenes such as these inspired this piece which is black construction paper on white drawing paper.
