The making of a Christmas Card

Every year I do a piece of art for my annual Christmas card ,usually a pastel. I was not inspired 

For this year’s painting

Until it snowed and so I watched the sun pour through the pines in my backyard.

I placed some 400 Uart sanded paper and preceded to look out the window 

From my studio. Also worked from a few photos. What do you call and en

Plein Air done from a window? Merry Christmas.
