“Hill Country In Winter”

“Hill Country In Winter”

Painting size - 14”h x 13”w framed to 20”h x 19”w. Watercolor on paper .

This painting is a studio piece done mostly to explore the rhythms of snow covered fields in hilly terrain. The subject is a composite of scenes from Vermont, where narrow valleys create a curving, rhythmic contours along the many overlapping hills and ridges.

Winter brings many dreary, overcast days and sunny days can seem rare. When they occur, the landscape feels extra bright and sparkling.

The combination of active movement and sense of bright light gives this piece a lift different from that of many low-key winter scenes.
