What's On The Easel

Sometimes when the winter seems endless I like to paint a summer scene. After the last snowstorm piled up in the back yard and the backyard was covered with blanket hopefully for the last time,I decided to embrace the beauty of the colors and lights reflected. I started this painting with a watercolor wash on Uart 400. Then began to block in the shapes of trees snow and shadows. The beginning is shown here

I will post the next stages as I do them. The reference photo below.  

Stay tuned!
