This beautiful morning I followed the plow into this park and liked the look of the fresh snow hanging on this tree.

This was a particularly hard day for me to find a painting in the landscape. Â The lighting was very even, however, I took the challenge and was fairly happy with at least three of the four paintings of the day. Â Here is a quiet scene of the bottom of a tree in the snow.
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.
I turned around after painting an early morning painting and liked the subtlety of the blue shadows of foreground snow and the distant mountains. I decided to use my palette knife to accent the close snow with thicker, textured paint.

I pulled over on the windy road and painted this curving road and distant hill. Lead me into this forest so I can see around the bend.

I started painting while standing under a covered deck. Â When the sleet was blown in sideways and started to melt on my palette and canvas I had to move inside and paint from just inside the doorway. Â The background disappeared as the storm picked up, and I had to work by memory.

Looking into the sun in the late afternoon in the mountains. Â I enjoyed the way the light sparkled through the foreground tree and the way the road curved around the mountain.

I love to watch the light shine through trees, and I was drawn to the glow reflected underneath this tree. Â This was the second painting of the morning.

The strong shadows added an abstract element to this painting that attracted me to the scene.

I found this deserted picnic area as a good place to paint at the park. Â From the picnic area the uniqueness of this tree on the left side caught my eye.
