BLUE SNOW STORM

I use  INDANTHRONE blue & cobalt blue to convey the deep hush of a winter snow storm.

WINTER GARDEN

The chickadees in my garden are taking full advantage of the milder temperature today. Their conversation is always welcome anytime.

ANOTHER BLIZZARD

All this snow brings on the down time...precious & fleeting. It feels like a vacation!

SNOWY WOODLAND

Really like the snowy nocturne sketch from the other day. I added some wildlife to this winter landscape, to tell a better story. I might find time today to post it as a greeting card. Would you buy this card?

SNOWY VIEW

Gnarly apple tree & cottage is a constant in my sketches, mainly because the view is right outside my studio window.

PURE SOLITUDE

Winter has always been one of quiet pleasure. This sketch is from memory. Driving home at night, the snowy fields glow in the semi-darkness, despite not having a full moon. When there's a full moon, the whole landscape is bright & magical.

SNOWY GREETINGS

If you like your winter nice & frigid, it's that kind of morning...HAPPY NEW YEAR!

WINTER LIGHTS

This is a pretty time to be going home in the dark. Everyone puts up christmas lights to balance out our very long winter. Nothing like twinkling lights & a bit of snow to make the whole area bright & magical. This sketch is good enough to be a finish. Hope to finish off with more detail on the house.

SNOWY DAY

It's that kind of a wintery weekend. Yup, raw & bleak outside my window. It's time to get out the christmas lights!

SNOWY NOCTURNE

After a day of warm sunshine, the cold stillness of a winter evening sets in... this might be my last snowy sketch for the season.

MORNING HIKE

Bundle up & took a wintery hike this morning. Despite the chill, I enjoy being in nature & taking that inspiration back to my studio.
