Winterwelvaart
- Description
- For the December 2023 Rachel Jefferies mixed media challenge.
There is a reflection in the photo and I also reflected a stamp (a snowflake).
Winterwelvaart
Welvaart means “prosperity,” so it can be translated as “Winter Prosperity.” To take the name apart further, the word vaart can mean “canal,” and it can mean “speed.” So another translation could be something like “winter good speed,” meaning “traveling well” or “good journey”. That fits nicely with the nautical theme: it’s about a good journey through winter, starting with this market for Christmas.
