"Snow Queen" - Postcard

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Blue Monday".

I think I misunderstood what the theme was, so I'm not posting what I had originally made, and cobbled this together today. Where I live in the Northeast US, it has been snowing off and on since yesterday. And although the total accumulation when it ends late tonight won't be as bad as some past snow storms have been, it is enough to create icy road conditions. And then, as is typical for this part of the US, bitter cold will arrive for the third (Blue) Monday of January.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.38.
