The Snow fall this year has been far below what I like to see for a solid snow painting season... I really feel like the snow is a great change in abstract shapes to paint and love how everything gets silhouetted by the snow also composition can become a fun game of connect the dots. The subtle color and value shifts of sunlit snow and getting to really use my cold pthalo colors in the shadows get me so fired up to paint snow.. I'm gonna have to cut this post short to go do a snow dance out in the street.
The piece above is at the moment untitled, 16x20" and from Weber and Son Lobster CO in (I think) Harpswell Maine.

Good grief dude! I love the composition here and the perfect amount of grays to set up the color shapes. This one really draws me in. You need to get back to the midwest and teach me some color theory!
Another cracker. Love the change of value on the bannister rail. It sets the tonal script for the rest of the image.
I'm not sure that the people of Maine will be thankful for the prayers here in Sunderland which are all about hoping there is more heavy snow in their parish.
Thanks Matt, you are way too kind! Your work is looking really strong !
thank you Mick! If i don't get my much needed snow paintings in, the world will just have to stop spinning til I do..
Dan,
