"This painting is a dream for me. I have never experienced a white
Christmas. As I paint this scene it is 97º here at my home in Texas. But
whether the chill is in the air or not, the anticipation of seeing loved
ones that I haven't seen for some time is deep in my heart. I remember well
-- waiting for hours in the front yard, or peeking out the window when
Grandma and Grandpa were coming to visit. It isn't too far of a stretch for
me to envision looking out the window in anticipation and waiting for my son
to come home for Christmas as he is moving off to college this year. My hope
is to capture that thrill and excitement that happens for just a few minutes
of our lives as those people whom are most dear to us come into view. To
celebrate another person with jumping and waving or cheering and shouting
goes deep into the heart of every human being because it says, "You are
worth it!" "I delight to see you!" I hope you feel the excitement and are
reminded of your deepest longings as you, too, dream about going "Home for
Christmas."
