“snow was falling,
so much like stars filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being
was nothing more than prettiness.”

What a lovely combination of the tree, buck and the pretty wash of blue, turquoise and water pockets with brown and lavender. The Mary Oliver quote went wonderfully with the painting and occasion. 🙂
