I like the angle of the bridge in the composition and the play of the bright snow to the trees. The light was very bland on this day and it forced me to look at shape, color and composition to come up with a scene. It was peaceful.

This was a particularly hard day for me to find a painting in the landscape. 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. 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.
Last Summer, Sea Foam was hanging in a spare bedroom.
There was an old log cabin in a city park. Although the day was grey, the yellows in the landscaped popped.

Here is a cropped image from an early stage of this butterfly abstract. I was laying in the pattern and starting to establish the colors in the underpainting.
I was interested in the layers of this vertical scene of the foreground brush, fence, field, and distant hill.
