The greatest snow on earth!

Last year, one of my work associates approached me to help her paint a scene from her recent snow boarding experience at the Brighton Ski Resort in Utah. She had taken a photo of her favorite run and wanted to capture it on canvas. I showed her how I would start it and block it in, and then gave her that thumbnail for reference. The other day, she brought my thumbnail canvas back to me, having finally finished her painting! I liked the composition and since I already had an under painted canvas I decided to finish mine, too! I do love painting snow scenes!

Winter Shadows

One of my favorite things to paint is snow. The low light of winter creates these long and dense, ere shadows which seem to swallow up the brightness of the winter sun. Acrylic on canvas (24" x 18")
