Sometimes when visiting Mexico or Florida or southern California, the thought has crossed my mind that it would be so awesome to live in a place where you have lush foliage and bright colors surrounding you all the time. But when I get home to Colorado, I realize how much I love the rhythm of the change of seasons, and how each time of the year has its own appeal. I think winter may be the least appreciated of the seasons, but I love the quiet and the muted colors of this time of year. You may have to look a little harder, but the beauty is there in the landscape, just in a more subtle way. This painting is a celebration of winter hues.
(Suspension is available through Translations Gallery in Denver.)
I totally agree with you about the subtle, restful qualities of winter. The low angle of the sun and the colorful shadows on snow are unique to this time of year. Lovely painting, too!
I’m going to have to start collecting prints of your paintings. I wish I could afford to buy them all, but can’t. Beautiful work. Reminds me of New England or the Near North of Canada, November.
