Happy Winter Solstice! On this shortest day of the year, I invite you to watch a one minute video that features a selection of my art that celebrates winter. I also sing the first snippet of the carol, “In the Bleak Mid-winter.” The winter wonderland that you see here is hardly bleak, but I think that Christina Rossetti’s words beautifully evoke the coming season. She wrote the poem in 1872, and it was put to music in the early 1900’s by Gustav Holst.

In the bleak mid-winter.
Frosty wind made moan.
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow, on snow.
In the bleak mid-winter. Long ago.
