While most of Europe is covered in snow and temperatures have gone to unusual lows, even in the Southern parts, Mother Nature is creating chaos on the roads and in airports. As travelers are struggling I wanted take a moment to enjoy some of the beauty that gets laid out before us during Winter.

As artists we always get inspired by nature who as the supreme painter and sculptor creates some of the most incredible colors, patterns, shapes and formations. I remember how mesmerized I was as a child seeing the sun sparkling on a field of fresh snow, the crystal formations on glass, the amazing shapes of icicles,and the early sugary frost on leaves. While reflecting on my memories I am sitting at my desk in rainy San Francisco wanting to share some of the stunning beauty of Winter.
