Today we have snow here in Leeds, UK! Very cold but looks wonderful. I love all the blue tones in the shadows on the snow. So it seems an appropriate day to post this picture that I painted this for set of Fantasy themed Yule cards. It is kind of a cross between the green man and Santa, to make a spirit of winter character.
I'll post more off this set here soon.

A Christmas Card to All my Friends
Happy, happy Christmas,
that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days,
recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth,
and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!
