This painting was created by using a variety of soft pastels and Uart paper. I am inspired by the beautiful Adirondack mountains in which I live. The ever changing seasons and my natural environment have become my teachers. I am especially inspired by winter and the wonderful forms and shadows a blanket of snow creates. In this painting, I used some unusual colors for the snow and shadows in the grey green range. The mid day sun is bearing down on this snow covered field and little brook causing the snow drifts to melt and brook that was once frozen over also melts in some places.
