Late Snow

Leafless oaks, frost, and distant snow captivated me to paint this late winter/ early spring scene because I feel the need to chronicle the ever changing landscape around this lake. It makes for diverse and unique subject matter.

Although the lake landscape is somewhat colorless in late winter I was happy to find a warm enough day to be able to paint on location. The barren landscape has a beauty of it’s own and I think it’s worthwhile to paint versions of the lake in all seasons.
