During this rush of the holidays take time to see the art around you.  Notice how beautiful the snow is on the pine trees, how nature has its own artistic value.  It is easy to miss during the winter season.  I love trees and in the winter I take time to see the wonderful structure of the bare branches.  Another favorite is spotting those nests in the trees from last spring.  They are tucked in the tree’s branches in amazing ways.

Enjoy your local artists’ work as they capture or creative unique work that you could take home and enjoy!  Their work will help you “see” what you may have missed.  Shop your local art galleries and support your friends and neighbors!
