Funny you should mention that, Chris. For my son's bar mitzvah, many years ago, I did a pencil sketch of his head, from life, with a tallis barely suggested around his neck, and we used that as the cover to his invitations. We also printed up a smaller card with the same picture and a "Thank you" in his handwriting for the obligatory thank you notes.
Back to the original topic, I have a wonderful photo of my granddaughter at the age of three, being pulled on a sled, head flung back and arms extended, rapturously enjoying her first snowfall. She had just moved here from Las Vegas and had never seen snow before. One of these days I'm going to paint it. It's a profile and she's bundled up, so it's Every Child in the snow; gender isn't evident either. That's the closest I'd come to a seasonal painting.
