Lovely piece! Bet it's going to make a spectacular painting!

awww...thanks so much aloquin!:)

Lo, this is how I want to feel all winter . You s d me both.

You create such a winter scene. The birch trees look so magically simple in your deft hand

♥

Ahhhh, how soothing, cold but comfy. Lovely painting!

Beautiful! I wish it would snow here, cold, but sunny, and no snow in sight (yet).xoxo

well i love the painting but must say i dont love the snow. well, maybe one or two days of it but not 4 months.

THat fire looks so inviting. This is a nice painting.

I love the birch trees in the foreground! What a wonderful way to set up the piece! Beautiful... and perfect for the topic this week!

You must have been visiting my neighborhood! ha ha. No, really, the scene looks just like Hokkaido, where I live. Except that we have such heavy snowfall, the first floor windows get covered up for five months of the year. I love the birch trees!!

A beautiful winter scene....I can feel the fire and almost taste the hot cocoa (with marshmallows) as I watch the snow flakes drift down onto the Birch Trees....

Lovely, lovely!!!!

This makes me want to trudge through the thick snow and get to the little house where the homefires burn warm and strong!

And there will be hot cocoa waiting for me there too, right?

ciao bella!

I LOVE it lo. I want to live there. Now this is really my favorite. (well, the mocassins too) :)
But this little painting, sigh.

Very nice and cozy!

This is how I want to feel all winter, definitely. Lyrical use of space.

Ooo, looks so cozy and warm. Let's hope we don't have weather like this until February, though. Very pretty.

It looks wonderful! I would make a great X-mas card.

This is just wonderful. You've captured that cozy feeling of seeing a warm cabin after a long day out in the cold. I love it.

Love it.......the "Butterflytree"...

Yesterday I was bitten by 2 Big dogs out of the blue((:
Then I had to defend myself,and Marja was so proud of Me when I just walked away...
On my head I have a bump,so today I made the most of it even got some meatballs from the pasta :))

Big wet kiss and a big hug from Marja

Absolutely perfect for IF.

Love the new banner with the butterflies in the tree!!!!

Winter there huh? Not yet here!

Cozy - a nicer image of winter than I usually have.

its gorgeous. i love the way you can use color and create warmth and such beautiful birch trees. wonderful

Oh how cosy this looks!
I almost look forward to winter ......because of this
What a lovely little painting with those birches and snow! You are awesome in painting white.
It looks so easy........but I know it is not ;)
Home again having a sick cat on my lap.......

Oh here I read B's story
Have to call Marja anyhow today so I will hear how he is doing.
I .... dogs attacking out of the blue :(

Wonderful!Great atmosphere:)What better then a house with fire waiting you after a day out!

This is so peaceful and gorgeous, I just want to stare at it all day and Ooooooommmmmmmm. Aaaah, there I feel better already.

Need to do some catching up. Caught a glimpse of some pretty wonderful stuff I've missed, here at Studio Lo Lo. xoxoxoxox

you nailed it - this is fabulous

Absolutely lovely!

Love it!
How I wish we had snow!!!

Lovely artwork and inspiration.

very, very lovely work and writing...I meet a man in Sri lanka who told that trees were always friendly with him...

Beautiful tree. I can see her soul.

Very nice. I love to study trees and their character, too. They can really set a mood.

Lovely illustration, quite and peacesful.

P.S. My chihuahua's name is Bella!
Don't you just love those little dogs!

it's so very beautiful. serene. i love the twining. it reminds me of unconditional love.

I wonder if the trees miss us when we move away? have you ever thought about going back to visit a tree you left behind. I did in Savannah. The spanish moss tree in front of Pulaski Square was my favorite tree ever. beautiful piece!

Lovely, it is so gentle and serene.

Nice compositions! I love youur colors and cropping.

what a lovely and peaceful looking tree.'

the colours are gorgeous, the words expressive.

Odd or not odd- I've been thinking similarly about trees- specially in the past 2 weeks. Very beautiful sentiments and paintings here Laurel- thanks for the peace.

Really nice, and you are a modern day Monet, of course. ;-)

A very tender expression of little things. I sometimes let the little things get in the way of the bigger picture and that doesn't always work out so well. It is a joy to see how nature paints a different picture for us ;)

Have a great week~m

Ahhh-- lovely trees! I draw a lot of them too-- one of my favorite subjects!

these are lovely ..i liked them both but i should say my fave is the blue hue.. and i certainly agree with your line It's the little things that make up the big picture..

Like em both but really like the blue one...trees can make awesome subject matter when you have someone that can really 'see' them...

your paintings and writing are always so lovely!
btw, thanks a lot for your comment on my excess illo : )

Lovely painting, and I agree -- it's always about the little things. :)

Beautiful and tender rendering. Just lovely!

Lovely illustration, quiet and peaceful.

P.S. My chihuahua's name is Bella!
Don't you just love those little dogs!

Beautiful work as usual, and lovely sentiment. Trees are among some of the most important entities on our planet. Your paintings are gorgeous.

I'm with imwithsully, I visit the huge fig tree growing in a small Park in Ventura, CA, where I used to live. Seeing that majestic tree always centers me greatly.

truly enchnating.
but nature always is.
happy holidays lolo!

I can't stop looking at these. Beautiful

I love the twisted branches. Beautiful!

lovely. really like it.
