Everyone loves the magic of the first snowfall. And its that magic that inspired
this illustration in my new series of holiday cards… Walking in a Winter Wonderland.

We haven’t had snow yet this year in Toronto, but I did notice a layer of frost
on the grass yesterday. Last year, when I was living right in the heart of downtown
Toronto, literally facing the Eaton’s Centre, we had the most amazing snowstorm.
The whole city was empty the next morning, which really strange. That snowfall
was probably one of the most memorable for me.

This year, I’m itching for snow. And it’s not just because of the cute new
winter boots sitting in my closet. I want it to snow so that it really feels like the
holidays are coming. All of the glittering shop windows seem so out of
place in this weather.

For now, I’ll have to settle for illustrating the snow.

Painting... my favorite part.

What are your favorite winter memories?
