Winter's Gift

A fresh start to a beautiful New Year

Continued from December 14th, Time To Paint Winter:
Distant trees were added,  they help define the layers of ridges

The foreground is a wet in wet wash of violets and yellows using very little pigment

A small tree done in greens and blues, then shadows.
 I used a damp, stiff bristled brush to slightly fade out
the mountains.  Resolve to do more painting!

"With winter comes a time to reflect on days gone by
To draw our friends and family close,
To touch a stranger's life.

From the chaos of preparation
Evolves the joy of sharing
And winter's gift of quiet."


Happy New Year!
