Wow, there’s a lot of great stuff here! First post for me. Hope everyone’s having a great year.
@BichonBistro Oh, thank you! I was excited to participate, and I’m looking forward to February’s contest 
@BichonBistro nice one. I always loved the patterns in TV snow when I was a kid. So I thought Will the Yeti would too.
@LisaF Aces! I did have a look to see what time it was in LA when I submitted.
@Laurel-Aylesworth I really like this concept. Very original and reminds me a bit of a Brontë novel, or maybe the Secret Garden!
@Braxton You really got the sense of light in this one. Those tracks almost hurt my eyes, which means you really nailed it! In general, your illustration has a really nice atmosphere, a bit like the book Goodnight Gorilla, which was always one of my favorites to read to my daughter when she was small. And though it's a completely different seasonal reference, it also reminds me a bit of a swimming pool at night.
@burvantill I don't remember if I ever said this out loud or only thought it (not particularly helpful!), but this is one of my favorite concepts this month! I love Will's expression and, despite the fact that here Will is a bear, it's one of those very "human" situations in which we all find ourselves now and then! 
@LauraA Thankyou very much
@LauraA Thanks so much, that's exactly what I was going for! I just looked up Goodnight Gorilla, and it looks great so I ordered a copy.
@neschof that is the best kind of feedback, when someone understands the "feel" you are trying to go for 
Thank you so much for your kind words.
