20th Ave, Winter

$95. Click to buy.

Most mornings I take a walk around the neighborhood to wake myself up and burn some calories. This morning's walk was a special treat, with a beautiful combo of pink skies and fresh snow. I'm normally in the habit of painting fairly pristine landscapes, but I couldn't resist this scene---houses, cars and all.

I had fun with the little pop of color in the shrub here, and especially with the cool snow peeking through the grasses. 

I'm going to be experimenting with some different subject matter in the next few weeks, so posting will continue to be sporadic, I'm sure. 

Waiting for Spring

While the other inhabitants of this hill seem fairly content with winter, the little fir tree seems to be saying "enough already--let's get on with spring!"

Red Branches, Snow

$95. Click to buy.

These beautiful red shrubs were just to the right of yesterday's bridge. I wasn't sure how well the delicate branches with red berries and snow would come across in a pastel, but I ended up happy enough with the result.

Winter Under the Bridge

Sold.

A new season means another view of the iconic old stone bridge in the park. The tiny bit of snow only stuck to the pathway and top of the bridge, giving me plenty of opportunity to explore color with the trees and bare shrubbery.

Skiff

$95. Click to buy.

The tiniest skiff of snow added so much depth to this little scene. I loved working with the soft warm and cool grays here.
