Another Winter Snow Scene


This morning it is not snowing.  It's just cold.  This 12x12 oil on canvas I did a couple weeks ago, showing a gully off Stratton Road, where I walk frequently.  There's a veil of vertical trees intersected by a zig-zag of creases in the ground, and a convenient arch formed by branches (it's really there),  a simple and effective composition, not to mention that it's another winter snow scene.

Nice simple colors remind me of your painted ink drawings.

How do your oils like the cold?

Sam, Thanks. I am trying for that simplicity. It's too cold to paint outdoors right now. I venture to these spots on my snowshoes with a DSLR.
