My last snow painting turned out favorably..no doubt because I planned ahead. It is such a good idea to get the idea in your head, however you do it, before setting paint to canvas. I referred to my previous on-site photo and did a sketch from it. As I did the sketch I felt more in tune with the scene. I probably have some more details to add to the painting--but I thought I would stop here, before I took it too far. I'll revisit it in a day or so.

Hi Celeste,
Is looking great, the thumbnail cought my eye.I liked the nice play of worm and cool in the shadows.
Wonderful work. Nice shadow pattern.
But no, no I am not ready for snow.

Wonderful light and shadows in this.
can my mind live inside this work ? please ?
this is beautiful ....
Very, very nice! This painting, I think, is getting me in the mood for the inevitable.
That strong diagonal with the soft, beautiful light is a head turner. Really charming, lovely painting, Celeste.
How nice of you to include the sketch and share your work process. I really like the way you rendered the snow with a little lavender in the shadow. simply wonderful!
