Blue Monday is sponsored by our gracious hostess, Sally at her blog, Smiling Sally.
Today we awoke to a pile of snow from a winter storm. As I got up I noticed one of two pictures on either side of the dresser in my room – a snow scene with lots of blue!

I purchased this framed piece in 1980 in California at an estate sale. It is a pastel painting of a lovely winter scene.

The frame is wood in with white finish with beaded edge highlighted in gold.
The French mat is a deep peach color with its signature ruled lines around a lighter color wash.
So I can look outside to gaze on a snowy landscape through the screened door in the kitchen,
or out the living room window.
I can also look at this lovely painted scene.[Do note that I am not complaining about the snow, though I’ve been hoping not to have to pay for snow plowing any more this winter. I am just taking it in stride -- as well a New Englander should!]
