It's been a miserably cold winter so far in central Maryland, though thankfully this year has brought very little snow so far. This fictional scene is of a colder place where snow covers both the ground and many conifer trees all winter. The fiery light of the rising or setting sun is the only warmth offered here until spring. This painting is a bit of an experiment since I intentionally created it looser than most of my paintings. It has larger blocks of unblended color for a more impressionist feel. I also swapped the red and yellow iron oxides out with Pyrrole and Cadmium Free Yellow Deep. Those new colors will provide brighter and purer red and yellow colors at the cost of a bit of opacity.
Acrylic painting: 14" x 17"
