I wish I could do that, but then I should be content that my artistic medium is words. I have gimp and mypaint and a few other really cool things but the artistic ability (in painting, drawing etc) of a turnip.

Good job, Molly. I've tried painting in GIMP and never seem to be able to transfer my thoughts to the screen as effectively as I'd like.

Very cool, Molly (no pun intended). The gray definitely makes it appear colder. Brr!

I'm kinda in the same boat as Gms9810, although I suspect a turnip could do better than me. I know part of my problem is that I cannot manipulate a mouse as effectively as I can pencil and paper. That's why I have a tablet on my Christmas list. Maybe Santa will be generous...I've been good...well, not bad.

I am used to doing watercolors. I did that for years and sold most of them.

I have a tablet but I never use the pen. I use the mouse that came with it on the tablet. I just can't get excited about the pen cuz I find it awkward. Other people swear by it...Guess I am just weird.
lol....

Nicely done Molly!

I personally would have the snow fall a little faster, but very nice!
