Winter Woods III, 5 x 7", watercolour, January 2010

These are more in my continuing experiment with small paintings. I am fascinated with the shapes that trees make when surrounded by snow. The shadows stretching out toward the viewer decorate the snow with an endless variation of patterns.

Snowing again

"Tree Shadows, 2010" 5 x 7 inches, watercolour, Jan 2010

Seeing as we are having another snowy day, here is another picture of a snowy, sunlit woodland. I have painted this clump of trees before, as I find it beautiful.

Snow paintings

December Sunrise, 7 x 10", watercolour, Oct 2009, $195

These are paintings done for display and sale at the Digby General Hospital as part of their Winter Light show, starting November 18th. I have painted the above winter scene before. It is of the view from the home where I grew up. I have liked the previous paintings so much that I kept it for myself and gave the next one to my parents. The one above is a new interpretation, and is the first time I have offered this scene for sale.

Shadows Stretching, 5 x 7", watercolour, Oct 2009, $98

Light through Trees, 5 x 7", watercolour, Oct 2009, $98

One cold and bright February morning I went for a walk. The snow was newly fallen and the sun was still low in the sky. The light coming through the trees was fantastic. I took many photos and as I go back to them at this time of year, I always find something new to portray.
