With warmer temperatures expected, I had to get out early to capture the snow. The ground is already warm and soft, so the snow doesn't have a chance! I am studying the colors of the winter landscape, trying to see the subtle changes in hue and value, and pushing them a little. I read a wonderful quote the other day that struck a chord, "A color without it's complement is dead." So as I look at the masses, I'm looking for the complements, too. Those little bits of opposing color add drama, sparkle and life to the scene. I can still smell the crisp air as I look at this. Painting number 3357 in 3357 days.
