Warm Amidst Cold

This lady I imagine is walking through the snow in order to carry a hot meal to a family who may be sick or who may have a new baby. I admit, I did get help from Jo March of Little Women. I got on youtube and found the 1998 Little Women clip were Jo and her sisters carried food to a needy family so I could get a better idea of what it should look like.

This picture is made of: garlic peel, poinsettia, Japanese maple, poppy seed, bark, corn silk, bean strings, cotton and I'm not sure what her dress and bonnet are made of.

I love the way her scarf makes it look like there is a bit of wind in the picture, too. It really looks like winter, and it really looks cold, but still the lady looks "Warm" as you said.
I was wondering: do the ideas for your pictures just "come to you", or do you usually go around looking for inspiration?

Thank you, ladies, for your nice comments. It was good hearing from you all.

I think that my inspiration usually does "just come to me," but I do sometimes look for inspiration too. Sometimes we'll go somewhere, and I'll see a cat and start thinking, "if I were to make that cat, I'd use aucuba, pampas grass, a little maiden grass..."
