Terri, I’m just beginning to find my way with oils so your comments really give me a boost. I was afraid it might be seen as too depressing or something but I was hoping the pinks in the background might help counteract the grays (which are endlessly fascinating to mix.). Thank you.
Kyle, it’s so nice to see you here again! Thanks so much for your thoughts on this. I hope it’s not too cold where you are so you can get out and appreciate the snow.
John, thank you. Texture and depth are fun to explore with the oil/wax combo.
Hi Jo, thank you. I’ve done similar paintings with pastels and I realized that I hardly do snow on bright sunny days. I guess I prefer the quieter moods of the gray days.
Thank you Arnie. I started getting fussy with the foreground snow so the roller took care of it.
Thanks sno, a little cold will help us appreciate Spring more when it arrives.
Thanks Bart. Much appreciated.
Laf, those subtle colors do it for me too. Thank you.
Olive Oyl, your “abstracted sense of reality” phrase made my day because I started this trying to be abstract but reality snuck in as it usually does. Part of me feels like I failed at the abstract part but I am a little proud of myself for not allowing even one individual blade of field grass to be depicted. It’s funny that it was such a struggle. Thanks for stopping by.
That means you've done a great job.
