Last week I was working on a commission for a client of Lone Mountain and here it is after I added in the foreground trees covered in snow. I echoed the purple /blue shadows on the mountain in the foreground and really piled on the snow on those tree branches. It was very satisfying laying on thick swodges of snowy blues and whites to build up believable snow laden trees.
After the snow settled I started in on an entirely different scene of the impressive cliffs of Moher in Ireland. What a contrast to all that snow! Now it was green, green grass and those stark cliffs plunging into the ocean. The client wanted me to focus on the light on the foreground grasses and that bright sky against the distant grasses, and I’m happy with the end result because she’s happy!

So beautiful! Living in a desert I can only dream of seeing such snow-clad trees someday. Until then I live vicariously through your art 😉 🙂

I can feel the wind caressing those grasses and see that magical effect that it has when the grass dances hula-style to it’s tune. The snow is gorgeous but we know how I am about snow!

Love the hula-style grass reference. i will forever see fields of hula hoops now when the wind whistles through the paddocks.
