Blues of Winter

With the last days of snowy landscapes, I am calling the snow to Missouri!  My brother's family left this morning, so our household is tonight down to eleven for gathering.  After dinner, I set my tiny easel up in the kitchen, and painted this sunlit scene while visiting.  I am working with blues, pinks and whites, with yellows and a bit of cad orange for pops of highlight.  Using my palette knife for those thick, juicy snow drifts, I also used it to cut in with the shadow colors.  My new color tonight is ultramarine blue deep by Rembrandt.  Painting number 733 in 733 days, and Day 2 of the newest 30 Day Painting Challenge.
