Yesterday a big storm blew through leaving six inches of snow (unusual for us). We've had snow about once a winter since we moved here, but it always warms up and is gone within a day or less. But, cold weather is supposed to hang around for a few more days so today was a snow day! We went out to explore late this afternoon. I was particularly struck by the rusts and ochers in the trees and grasses, against the violet sky and cool expanse of the snow. I came home with more than a few ideas for paintings and etchings or drypoints.
Beautiful scenes! I love the way snow looks but don't love shoveling it. We're in for another snowstorm tomorrow and it's bitterly cold here. At least the scenery is beautiful.
I would love to see some of your paintings with a snow theme. I've always wondered about how to do tonalism with white on the ground. Enjoy the beauty! I think winter is the most elegant of all seasons.
Good ideas here for your beautiful paintings.
ReplyDeleteStay warm! Today, we have zero degrees, with over 12" in the forecast!

ReplyDeleteI agree with Janelle! I would also love to see a snow painting from you Deborah.
ReplyDeleteThat second photo in particular is stunning and... I thought it was a photo of a painting. !
