Thaw - 5"x 7" oil on boardThis is the current small painting I have been working on this past week. The day after I started this it snowed, now we have temperatures in the 60's and the snow is basicly gone except for the mud. And that is all I am going to say about the weather. Nose to the grind stone and see if I can finish and repost.
The inspiration came from the brief period of time in the morning when the light first peaks over the horizon. In the summer you have that special slice of time, before the rest of the world stirs, to see what has opened up in the garden or just to sit on the back porch with a cup of coffee and listen to the birds. In the winter it is a little quieter - but you still get those few moments when the sun rises and sets of pastel beauty.

This is looking lovely Holly. I love to see the progression of your artwork. I particularly like the pinkish glow on the snow. Sorry to hear that you only have the mud left. Our snow is but a memory now. Our temps are climbing to 14C during the day now. I can smell spring in the air..lol.
Thanks Cathy - the one good thing about mud season is that it is the prelude to spring.
This is beautiful Holly. I love the colors in the snow. They change from blue to pink to green with some dappling of yellow. You have captured this with so much delicacy. It is amazing the art work you have created from this subject. Kay
Thanks Kay - I am going to post the finished image in the next day or so. How did your show turn out?Give us an update.
Your work is outstanding. Congrats, too, on the newest blog award (from Dean). I wish you would post more often!
