That’s a pleasantly blue winter tree.
In contrast, you may have heard that February in Austin (Texas) began with an ice storm that left hundreds of thousands of people in the cold without power for several days.
How wonderful to feel the welcoming chill of February in your tree. I love entering a new month together. Happy February, Marina!
Oh, so do I, my dearest friend! Sending wishes for a wonderful month accompanied by many hugs!
A perfectly frosty, stark, but with lovely curves, tree. 😉
Ah, thank you, Mary Jo! …on behalf of the tree too! 😉
xoxo
I see you’ve been visited by some snow! 🙂
Yes we have… they named it Barbara! 😂
What a gorgeous tree for February, Marina! Those soft, soothing colors are perfect and also two favorites of mine. Wishing you the most fabulous February!
Hugs and love coming your way! 💙xoxoxoxo💙
Thank you, my dearest friend! So happy you enjoyed this winter tree!
A most fabulous month to you too accompanied by extra hugs and love!!!!!

Perfect colours for February, dahling!

I’ll be warm thinking of you.

We’re just entering winter, but we’ve got a long way to get to -20! We’re still on the + side 😉
Sending hugs and love and tail wags from you know who!!!!!

I love the blue for February! Thank you for the lift.
So happy you like it, Liz. Contrary to other month illustrations I’ve done, I decided to go with the first colors that come to mind. Blue was it. Thank YOU, my dear friend! 💗
You’re welcome, Marina. I meant to mention that I really like the role the paper (I think it’s paper) plays in the image.
Yes it is, watercolor paper. Very glad you noticed. I love textured papers and how charcoal and paint picks up that texture.
I’m trying to train my viewer’s eye. 🙂
Oh, you already have a very trained eye. Comes with a trained brain! 😉
Why, thank you!
..so very true!
Love your February Tree Marina… Love the Blue.. We actually got to see some Blue sky early this morning… 🙂 Sending LOVE for Feb, and Beyond.. ❤ ❤
Thank you, my dearest Sue! There’s a serenity in a winter scene and when the sky is blue, it’s really blue!
More love back to you [and all the beautiful yarn family! ;-)]!!! ❤️💗🌷💗❤️

Such a beautiful tree for February. Happy February, Marina.
Ah, thank you, Tim! Happy February!
Hi Marina, what a cool tree! It surely needs to be hugged. I tried to comment this morning from my phone but it just wouldn’t work so here I am at 1pm and it’s still raining. It’s cold too! Oh, Marina, all your paintings are just wonderful (my artwork always seems frozen, very stiff. Perhaps I need some of your sunshine). 🐢😎🐢🙋♂️
I don’t agree with you at all about your artwork! It’s really beautiful!
Thank you so much, my friend!
Our winter has freshly arrived. Slightly delayed this year! However, the sun was very bright today so I’m sending over some rays! 😉 😎🔆😀
Definitely a February tree. Always love to see your original art. A full moon is approaching. Cheers to Aquarius and amethyst. Yamas!
A ha ha.. all these years of ‘practice’ in repetition huh?!!!! 😉 🤣 This year I decided to skip the ‘official’ colors / meanings symbolisms etc of the months and let my paintbrush take lead! Happy February, Frank! Yamas!
So happy you like it!
the ‘waisted’ tree invites a hug – happy February to you Marina as your blues are far from blue!
Ah… tree feels hugged already! Thank you, Laura, and I’m really glad you see those blues far from blue! 😘
