Today I believe GOD wants me to share a render and creative error on my part. I didn't ask for GOD's input on this and this is what happens when we don't, hahaha!

Back-story. As you all know, I am working on matching images for the sonnets from the 4 seasons. This one, is for the first sonnet of Winter. While quite a challenge to make a scene like this work, I thoroughly felt the challenge and wanted to through a tantrum. I wanted to add snow to the scene in the form of halo's. I belie...
