Way Too Chilly

6" x 8" oil on masonite

This is from a photo at the end of my early morning walk last week. While my feet stayed warm, my legs were really cold. My jeans were starting to freeze and stiffen. I should have taken the time to put on long underwear. I was too eager to get out. Impatience is not a virtue.
I layered the snow colors in this piece and really like the way the darker snow peeks through. It's hard to believe I just took this photo and just did this painting. It's 67 degrees out today!!

Pam,
Beautiful painting! I really get the feeling of cold! Your painting shows this! It must be the striking blue colors!

Beautiful. love the use of the orange and blue, another example of why to use complements.
