Sunrise over the snow
Does a snow day stop all painting?
We woke to thrilling unexpected glowing sunrise.
Red sky in the morning
shepherd’s warning
Plenty of reason to be warned. Within seconds the snow was falling thickly and solidly. The morning was beautifully whitened out and I knew I had to paint it.
There are lots of snowy painters I admire.
Claude Monet’s haystacks in the snow
Pieter Breughel’s winter scenes from Flanders
Pekka Halonen the Finnish winter artist
The Canadian Group of Seven who brought the Rockies in winter to the masses.
This is an altogether more modest affair. I loved the sunrise and the wanted to include the snow falling that almost immediately washed out the colours of the sunrise.
My garden is covered in snow, i flicked the paint onto the board and it stuck just like the snow.
