Headed back to the sunshine of home for Christmas 2009, and painted this as a Christmas card to irritate the loved ones we’d left behind to what turned out the be one of the most bitterly cold winters on record in Ireland.
Having spent the previous 4 Christmas’ in the northern hemisphere, I’ve come to see the relevance the of icicles, snow men, and rugging up warm connotations that come with this time of year. This was my boys second Christmas, the first being in Ireland, and i wanted to see how he’d go building a snow man in the sand.
