There hasn't been much snow to photograph or paint this "winter." Vermont doesn't feel like Vermont. There is still much beauty, though. This small painting was done from memory and imagination.
Through practice I continue to learn the value of leaving the white of the paper unpainted as it contributes so much to a painting. It can for example, suggest light reflecting off the surface of the water or lead your eye into the painting.
Recently, I have begun experimenting with the combination of tuscan red and phtalo blue which produces a warm gray or a dark. Often I paint over this combination, for example, when painting water and the reddish pigmentation bleeds through, which creates a lovely coloration
