Snow Again?

Proverbs 25:20--"Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day..., is one who sings songs to a heavy heart."

No amount of joyfulness can touch the soul with a "heavy heart." There are those people whose glass is always half empty instead of half full. Take the title of this blog, for instance...If you say this with an uplift to your voice, you have excitement. Yeh! another snow storm! But if you say this with a downturn to your voice you have dismay...Woe is me...another snow storm.
This little girl seems to be the later of the two emotions. Don't let the cold weather get you down. Look toward the God who created the snow and you'll see his awesome presence.

I created this on a playing card by painting the background, using the face of a vintage photo (Paper Whimsy) and the coat and hat of another photo. I added a calender backdrop, etched the edges in gel medium, highlighted with silver paint and splatter-painted with white.
