I am in MN visiting my family. As you might guess, there is TONS of snow here this year. Because I live in sunny CO, I forget how beautiful the snow can be. The shadows across the snow are a beautiful, blueish color with soft edges and lots of sparkle and texture. They help define the contour of the land and drifts. When you look across the countryside, the colors are muted and it looks like a black and white photo. For the first time in my artist life I want to paint something without much color! The hues of the snow are subtle and take a light touch. I am thinking of trying a painting like this…..of course I brought my brushes and paints along with me. If I decide to do that I will post it here.
Thanks again for reading this blog. I enjoy writing it.
