My last post was all about tropical color, and here we are back in winter. What's going on? Well, I figured I'd show you one last winter painting, as we head into full-blown Spring here in NC. This painting was a demo for a workshop I taught in my studio in early January. It kind of looked like this in most parts of the country right about then. The interesting thing about this painting was that I used a photo reference to inspire it - which was shot in Anchorage, Alaska. Before you say, "Aha, that explains it," let me assure you that the photo was shot in August, when there was absolutely NO snow in sight. The trees were green, the sun was shining, and the foreground was a lush field of growing green stuff and hundreds of poppies. In fact I painted this scene before, in a more literal interpretation, and posted it on my blog on: July 5, 2010 (Click here to see it and compare it with this new version.)This time, I wanted to use the photo in a more personal way, to express what I was feeling about the season, and this is the result!
