More Feels Like Snow


I did this winter of '07. One of my teachers explained that doing a landscape was very similar to doing a still life. You could think of the tabletop as the lay of the land and the objects as the trees and buildings. So that made me think that the snow on the land and the trees could be translated back to white still life objects and a white cloth on the table. When it's too cold outside I can stay in my warm studio and paint snow! This painting is 3 3/4 by 2 1/2 inches, oil on board, POR

That's a scrumptious painting Joyce and I love the analogy.
I've been collecting white objects with a 'white on white' painting in mind.
