Blessings of Christmas by Thomas Kinkade ~ Published September, 2003 - I've chosen to re-visit a favorite artistic place in Blessings of Christmas, which takes a fresh look at the charming cottage of "Victorian Garden II" in its evergreen bower, but now in the snowy grip of winter. The warmth of family life lives in this cozy dwelling, accentuated by the shroud of snow that sits so gracefully upon the trees. The cheerful snowman wrapped in his red scarf, holding a straw broom, embodies the spirit of the season. - Thomas Kinkade
