Christmas in Colonial Williamsburg is a very special time, especially the Grand Illumination when fireworks are set off and candles in every window are lit. The colonists celebrated a Grand Illumination on special days such as the King’s birthday or when the Governor’s wife came to town. These ornaments depict the fireworks behind the Governor’s Palace and two windows with lit candles and greenery which would have been cut and used to decorate at the Christmas season.

Ellen Stamilio had designed spring, summer, and fall on the lid of the pantry basket. The last time I saw her, she said she had a few sketches for a winter design. Unfortunately she passed away before she had a chance to paint it. In cooperation with her husband, Mike, and PaintWorks magazine, I was privileged to design this piece to complete the series. I hope Ellen is pleased with it.
