It seems that my phone is overwhelmed with "stuff" (probably photos), and I can't figure out how to upload those photos to my computer (possibly because after several updates my computer is quite cranky). What I did differently today was take a photo with my camera (as opposed to my phone). That I can still upload without any problems.
Last week I shared the beginning of a new painting. It is a study of winter and of a nearby site to which I return time and again. The latest trip to take photos was not successful in the way I had hoped. Instead of direct sunshine on a winter scene, I had to accept that at this time of year, the sun won't shine where I want it to. Really? and just who does the sun think he is? Harrumph!
Oh well, stamping my boots didn't get me anywhere so I took photos anyway. It's a good thing I did because I wound up with a photo that I was impelled to paint.
Here is "Zero Degrees" in its finished form:
Using a limited palette, made this a dramatic scene. Snow covered rocks, a pool of water frozen at the edges and lightly iced over to the center, and a frozen water fall with a snow-covered, iced pond in the background.
This is one with which I am currently satisfied.
I think it is really beautiful and definitely deserves the name "Zero Degrees." You are one very talented woman, my dear friend!

ReplyDeletePerfect title. Reminds me of a painting I did on Yupo some years ago of trees and rocks on the Palisades in winter with the distant city across the Hudson. It now hangs in Tim's living room and I had the pleasure of seeing it yesterday.
