At the edge of a city looking out at nature and the remnants of Winter snow. Â I was interested in the expanse and the open feeling of the scene.
A day or two after “Before the Snow” I went out and painted the scene after the snow. It was a warm day for snow and I enjoyed the clouds in the distance while my foreground was in sunshine.
On my way back from the middle of nowhere, I stopped and started this little painting of a tree. It was a beautiful day.
I worked on emphasizing the underlying colors and played with texture in this image. Â It was a very windy day and I had to hold on to the easel to keep everything from being blown away!
The scene glowed and I focused on the underlying patterns.
I was interested in the layers of this vertical scene of the foreground brush, fence, field, and distant hill.

There were purple flowers growing along the side of the bluff as it descended to the water and I enjoyed the color changes between the flowers, the silvery blue water and the evening sky.

Near to the cottage where we were staying was a public beach that became a great place to paint in the evening. Â After the painting was over, we could enjoy the sunset.
