Holiday Greetings Everyone!
It's official! Judging from the snow on the ground and the cold
readings on the thermometer, Winter is here to stay. Though I'm not
fond of being cold, winter is a great inspiration for my work in both
pastel and oil. As you've heard before, I love painting winter. It's
such a relief to have a soft, muted palette after the bold, saturated
colors of the warmer months. Occasionally, I will paint outside if
there is a sunny, sheltered spot to stand in. The air is crisp, the
snow is fresh, and the sky is blue, blue, blue. Exhilarating!
These paintings are inspired by the first snow of the season when there
are still signs of Fall mingled with the fresh white snow of early
Winter. Winterberry and dried grasses rise up out of the snow and
lingering leaves glow golden through the trees. The snow but a portent
of what's to come.
Winter Pines can be seen at Gallery on the Green in Woodstock, VT

I have not been out to paint in the snow yet, but I will!
Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
