I'm so happy to bring you today's featured artist. He resides in the Pacific Northwest and has been painting for well over 13 years. Many of his renditions grace my home. One of his newer vignettes have really touched the hearts of many including myself. Well....that could also be because he's my husband, Paul. Here is how he came to create this festive collection.... 
When no one’s around . . .
The “When No One’s Around” series of prints is a whimsical view into the world of snowmen, snowwomen and snowfamilies when no one’s around to see. Each scene portrays those everyday life situations, human emotions, family values and even an occasional political statement presented humorously through snowmen characters. Children relate to the cartoon-like snowmen while adults may see the reflection of their own values, emotions and family members.
The original artwork was created with an acrylic underpainting that glows through the overlayed pastel details on the surface.
Snow Couple's Night Out
This couple is about to hit the town in their newly gifted ensembles.
Snowmen Global Warming
If you look closely... the signs they're posting read...Stop Global Warming.
Snowmen Sledding
A family frolics in the first snowfall. I love that the little sledder has guiding hands to greet him.
Snowmen Swimming
Inflatable toy, goggles and snorkel, is all you need for the perfect winters dip in the pool.
Snowmen Soccer
Let the games begin....
Paul actually sat in on a soccer game to capture all the details that occur on the field. Including referees and Dad with camcorder filming his kid in action.
Snowmen Skiing
Hitting the soft powder to enjoy a ride down the slopes. Something tells me they'll be skipping the hot chocolate in front of the lodge fireplace.
Snowmen Santa Claus
Every child has a wish list for Santa.
Snowmen Golfing
"Tees the Season" for a few rounds of golf.
Snowmen Fishing
Fly Fishing was a request by a special customer who has a passion for the sport.
She has over a dozen of Paul's prints. He wanted to show his appreciation by painting this picture...she was elated!
Snowmen Christmas Presents
This sweet snow fellow thinks his Christmas will be spent alone...unbeknownst to him his friends are waiting to surprise him.

The snowmen prints are adorable!! I love the cute packaging for the lip glosses! Do you make those yourself?

I visit my followers at lest twice a week, so I'll keep up with what your doing.
I absolutely love your husbands paintings. I have a son and daughter-in-law that I don't know what to get them for christmas. I started a snowman tree for them when they got married and it's grown and grown. They both ski and snow mobile all winter. I'm going to check in with your store and see if the snowmen skiers is avalable.

Thanks for stopping by our blog last week! I have been out of town on a little mini vacation and have to catch up on my posting! Nola has been knee deep in a work project and has basically had her hair on fire! We need to get back to the posting!! I wanted to let you know that I sent you an e-mail a few weeks ago to find out if you are in the Atlanta area. Did you get it?

The snowmen and women art are so sweet! I too love the little snow person in the sled, so cute.
And lip gloss, something no woman should ever be without. How do I manage to lose so many when it's such a necessity to moi?
I want to thank you for your heartfelt wishes about my step-dad, I carry them with me in my heart. It means much to me, thank you!
