Winter Patterns   Pastel  9x12

Winter in the Whites has its own special charm,

and challenges for the painter as well.

Snow is much more than white.

It reflects sky, clouds,  sun,

and changes in the shadows.

Look at the boot prints,

It drifts into subtle hillsand mounds, with their own shadows

and unique ways of clumping.


Look at the tree limbs, rocks,


Snow is a shape shifter.

But perhaps the painter’s

challenge and delight

are the winter patterns.

Trees without leaves

have wonderful arching,

twisting and branching

ways of growing...

A delight in any season,

a melody of movement

against dusky skies.

And then,

add an iconic stone wall!
