19/365:2013 ATC snow in the city

When it comes lots of snow in the city, streets and sidewalks fills up with plenty of snow. To manoeuvre is almost impossible especially if you are on foot. The solution for many cities near the coast is actually to dump snow on the sea.

February postcard swap

I joined up with a postcard swap at iHanna. My motive is a February winter night. Do you see the pail northern light dancing over the sky?

I started up with watercolour, thin layers upon each other. Wanted to get a little northern light effect. Then came the houses in a mix of watercolour and acrylic, with the iridescent snow. A touch of snow in the sky and finally an embossed heart to guide you through the night. So much fun to make.

It is so nice "meeting" people from around the world and getting a glimpse of there life through there creativity and art. I am so looking forward to the cards that will be delivered to my mail box. I'll post them up here as I get them.

My house, my shellter.
