Another way to create "snow"- this time I used several Topaz Impression apps. Some of them can be tweaked to create random white spaces that serve fairly well as snow.
This was, I think, Chicaroso, and Degas Dancers, with some added tweaks.

Just beautiful, Cindy!  And my favorite of the two versions!  The vignette is very effective, and the snow looks great.  The flakes appear to be dropping randomly, very naturally.  The "Degas" brush strokes are visible, and make a clear statement: this is a painting!  And a fine one at that!

A lovely conversion of your shot Cindy, the snow flakes look very convincing and the painted feathers look so soft and realistic!

Looks like a beautiful painting. Another ace in my opinion.
