I’m working on some large portraits right now so I thought I would post another pastel landscape that I painted right after the big storm last year. This is a scene from our back yard. I love how, on bright, sunny winter days, the warm light throws golden highlights against the deep blue shadows

We’ve been having a lot of “weather” this holiday season and it reminded me of the huge snow storm we got last New Year’s. We had about 12 inches of snow dumped on us in one day. I went for a walk with my dog and shot photos everywhere, then went back into the warm studio and painted. This pastel landscape was inspired by my own front yard. Snow scenes give me a chance to play with “icy” blue, a color that doesn’t usually appear in my warm color palette.
