Christmas at the Cabin
Watercolour and crayon

This is the view from the loft in the cabin where we spent
Christmas last year. Parts of it are quite realistic – for example, the Christmas
tree really was two stories high. The
moose-like thing on the wall between the two upper windows actually looks more
like a moosehead than the real thing.
The real thing is a large plush toy with velvet antlers.
And you can see the reflected tree lights and alpenglow on
the Rockies... just not through that window
from that particular angle. I’ve invoked
my (self-granted) right to use multiple viewpoints again, in order to include
in the painting a few more of my favourite things about the cabin.
