- Lot Description
Jim Butcher (American, B. 1944) "Frosty the Snowman" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Cold Press Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
Nature fashions each small snowflake with delicate beauty as it drifts down silently to blanket the waiting earth in a thick cloak of whiteness. It fills the cold crisp air with cheer and wonderment, and boldly announces the most heartwarming holiday season of the year ... Christmas. The snowy wonderland of Christmastime is also a time for winter fun ... for skates and skis ... for shimmering icicles and roaring fires ... and for the very special magic of plump, jolly snowmen! The thrill of building snowmen during the chilly Christmas season has long been a tradition that rekindles the childhood spirits of both young and old. The delightful magic of turning soft, fluffy snow into a plump, jolly friend has led many to wonder if there could be any truth in the popular Christmas song about the most famous snowman of all ... Frosty the snowman, was a fairytale they say. He was made of snow, but the children know how he came to life one day ... There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found, for when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around ... Even though all snowmen are not as magical as Frosty was, each one is just as delightful. Every snowman ever made reflects the unique personality of that special person that creates it. Although, in some very rare instances, as depicted in this artwork, the same plump, jolly snowman may have a split personality.
