Watercolor Sketch – Winter Landscape
“Snow Cover Landscape”
5″ x 7″
Private Collection
Having lived in Vermont for the past 20+ years has not made it easier for me to endure winter. It is long, cold and dark. Worse, there is usually not a warm spring with gentle rain and bright flowers as a reward. People from places that have warmer, or at least, milder winters ask how I get through. The answer I think is in the fact that while the weather can be a challenge, the winter landscape is quite visually beautiful and exists in a unique serenity. The sun can seem to be absent for days at a time when, suddenly, the clouds open, the sun shines and the snow cover changes from flat white to mottled white, grays, blue, violet and even warm hues of ochre and yellow. It is at those time that trees and saplings cast their sharp shadows across the snow. Such was the case when I created this small painting. The sun appeared briefly after several days.
