Greetings. Everything is back to normal around here. After taking down the Christmas decorations, I wanted to give one of our tabletops a winter feel. To do that, I dug out some artwork, done by Mr. Autumn……….when he was eight.
I found this winter scene, complete with an igloo, snow, and evergreens a few months ago when I was going through one of his boxes. It was done during his Catholic school days, along with the one I used here.
Evidently they were doing a lesson on perspective, and he got it right with the placement of the evergreens in the foreground and background.
Framed and sitting on an easel, it looks great with my new super market ivy in a little blue bucket, some bocce balls, and some blue books. I always like blue in January because it is a cool color and so different from the Christmas colors we have been looking at recently.
This little corner with its French park bench, needlepoint pillow from Greece and Mr. Autumn’s art makes a nice little spot in our great room. We’re pleased with the way it looks, and the art work by my own personal Picasso makes it even better.

It’s just so charming to put artwork done by family out for all to see! It’s perfect where it is and you’ve made the piece a star. Husband should be very pleased and proud that you’ve found his artistic talent worthy of putting on display – nice job.
I’ve been thinking of what to do to liven things up after the richness of the Christmas colours, so your inspirational post was just in time!
