TM9103 Down by the Beaver Dam 7×7 oil on paper

Like recent years, this winter has gone back and forth between bright snows, deep cold, and short thaws. Down by the Beaver Dam is from a recent walk after heavy rainfall, one that cleared away most of the snow. I thought the overwhelming gray and brown would be depressing, but then I found this one patch of ochery winter grass and a spot of blue – that was it – the next subject. Of course the following day it snowed again, a gentle, frothy snow that cleaned everything up, at least temporarily, resulting in Winter Walk to the Pond.
