This is another example of a winter painting. It is a very quick and loose sketch. This piece is one that has grown on me. Sometimes I will put a painting away, doubting its merit, and return to it later to discover its inherent strengths. That is why I always try to suspend my expectations when I paint -- a task easier said than done.
I love this one too!!!!!!!!!!

ALL YOUR PAINTINGS ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION. I THINK THE LOOSENESS OF IT CREATES A WONDERFUL ETHEREAL FEEL TO IT. ALSO, ONCE AGAIN, THE VARIOUS SHADES OF COLORS YOU USE ARE JUST WONDERFUL........I JUST LOVE YOUR SKYS!!
