Snow Days

We haven't had much snow this year, probably less than four inches, and almost none for several weeks. But there is a slow-moving cold front bringing snow for at least twelve hours or more. As I write it's coming down hard. Tomorrow I may have a chance to capture the results. Meantime, here are a few snow scenes from my files.

"Sunup, Light Snow," oil on panel, 6x8

"Winter Shadows," oil on panel, 4x6

The first two are oil paintings, done as exercises while looking out the west window of my studio. The third is a silverpoint, also done looking in approximately the same direction. None of these were done at the same sitting.

The final painting is a watercolor done in a 5x9 sketchbook. The view is north from another studio window, looking ice and snow along Druid Hill Creek. 

"Spruce in Snow," silverpoint on gesso panel, 6x8

"March Snow, Druid Hill Creek," wc on paper, 5x9
