Description
I created this picture from a larger oil painting of mine "Cabin in the Woods" in order to focus on the single snow-covered Christmas tree that brings back such warm memories for me. I remember the wonderful times and the many hours my son and I would spend each Christmas looking for just the perfect Christmas tree!
He usually thought it should be fatter, and I thought it should be thinner because of the limited space we had for it. But we always arrived at a good compromise and came home with the perfect tree... Although I must confess that sometimes we had to saw off the end of it so it would fit into the holder... or we had to hide the fact that it wasn't quite as straight or full as we had supposed...
But it was our tree and it smelled wonderful... and what fun we had decorating it! The handmade decorations, colored balls and white lights always made it twinkle and glow as if it really was covered with sparkling white snow. For us it was always the perfect tree.♥
