On the Move

(C) 2019 Dale DiMauro

At the start of the week, here in Brattleboro, VT, we had one to two feet of snow. As a result, I am already tired of shoveling snow. It even motivated me to search for a battery-powered snow blower. It may sound silly, but this snowstorm really changed the landscape.

However, there is a romantic quality when suddenly living with drifts of fresh snow. With this new blanket of snow, the afternoon natural light is special. That is, if you can catch it when the sun is out.

After a summer season of fitting in painting sessions around work, it is a welcome time to slow down and paint larger pieces. This detail, of a larger watercolor, is the beginning of one such piece.
