Winter Colors

(C) 2020 Dale DiMauro

For all those people out there who think we don't have much color up in the North I beg to differ. It certainly is different than the landscape along the equator. However, as the days gain length the light particularly, late in the day acquires that special glow. 

At this time of year I like how the sun and shadows roll over the snow revealing the undulating contours of the land. In addition, the colors projected on the ground reveal a lot of temperature - whether it is cold temperatures or receding snow.

I painted this watercolor in the afternoon as the warmth of the sun was such a delight. There is a freshness to the snow and brilliance of light which I could not resist.
