A STREAM NEAR SLICK


8x10
oil/canvas board

$125











This morning, after a 6 degree night, it began to snow, new snow falling on old.  The flakes were large and the sun came through the clouds making the snow flakes sparkle.......a spectuacularly beautiful winter view!

This stream I found I few days ago.   South of Kiefer, there is a numbered country road that turns west towards Slick and on this road I found this almost frozen over stream.  It was another sunny day and there were several views to choose along this road but this one was so crisp and clean and lovely.  It was fun to paint.

We continue into January taking this difficult winter in stride as it comes to us each day, hoping everyone is able to stay warm and safe.

    I dropped by to welcome you to my blog and thank you. Your work is very nice...the previous snow scene made me shiver. But it's cold down here in Texas, too...12 in Austin last nite. Keep up the delightful artwork.

    This is a really well done piece. Love the value variations of the oranges. And the complements of the sky w/ the shrubs reads so well.

    Thanks, Pam....I always appreciate your comments. They are specific and prompt me to look at my work with a more painterly eye.

    Excellent treatment of snow, not so easy to do! Your eye is the camera, canvas your film.
