Carol gave this drawing to my father in the early 1970's, and he gave it to me soon after- kind of a family affair. Now it can be yours. It’s very peaceful looking snowy scene along a river bank with reflections in the water. The white snowy stream kind of makes you want to snuggle in on a winter night.
31" x 24" x 1" Framed in a simple silver color frame.
