TM8912 Snowing in the Woods 44×36 oil on panel
With record-setting cold for the last weeks, there are only two choices – embrace winter or leave, and I choose to embrace it. Snowing in the Woods is a glimpse of our first snowfall, a light one that brought several inches of glittering white sparkles. The bittersweet berries slowly disappeared as the silence descended. Details below. Enjoy.

I’ve indulged in a lot of winter escapism. But your beautiful painting reminds us that Nature is beautiful in all her forms.
Winter is, indeed, gorgeous. The only problem is getting around in it! I’m thinking snowshoes……
You’re way north of me. We have only a light cover of snow. But the chill! Arg! And it’s unusual for the region (Wash DC). We have our bitter cold days, but not usually so much and for so sustained a period. Your beautiful painting takes some of the sting out of the cold.
The other thing that takes the sting out is wearing two pairs of gloves and two hats – layering chic.
Love this = the beauty of snowfall.
Thanks Kathy. All the cold has me working on some additional winter paintings. I’ll post them soon.
