New York city is a magical place in the snow at Christmas time! This painting was from my first trip to the city. Shortly after arriving, it started snowing and within a couple hours, the ground was covered. We walked through Central Park and came upon the cutest holiday market, transformed by the snow into a picturesque scene. The warm yellow lights glow in the alleys of the market as well as from the windows of the busy skyscrapers shining through layers of snowfall.
