Back Yard Snow 8" x 6" Oil
With only a few days left until 2011 comes to an end I wanted to paint one last painting before the new year, something wintery. Looking through a stack of old photos I found a view of our back yard in a house we lived in before we moved here, a winter scene filled with snow. Our back yard (at the time) butted up to a 20 acre forest and a trail from our back yard ran through the forest and led to a creek then on back home. In the summer time the forest was a cool place to hike when it was hot outside. This view is just to the left of the trail.
All comments and critique are welcome.
I love it! The warm colors in the snow draw me into the picture. . .makes me want to put on my boots and go walking between the trees. Happy New Year, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThank you sooo much for your comment. I see a few things I'd do different next time ... but I'm so happy to have gotten one painting done before the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteLovely winter look Nancy. The browns have a lot of life to them and add warmth.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a lot like my garden which rolls on forever into woods.
