Wisconsin Watercolor Way: December 21, 1996, Winter Solstice

Jack Frost, portion of a 22"x28" watercolor, not for sale.

Jack Frost came striding onto my windowpane one day,
and painted his pictures of white and grey.

As the days grew shorter Jack got very bold,
completely heedless whether the sparrows were cold.
He put ice on the windows and snow on the ground,
and blew and blustered his way around.
While the year got old.

(continued)

This is my favorite day of the year because it is the shortest and from now on the days will be getting longer. So after a festive dinner, in a room lit by more than a dozen candles and antique lanterns, I decided to put up the first portion of my Jack Frost poem and one of the illustrations I painted for it.
