The snow drifts are complimented by the stark contrasts created by the glaring winter sunlight pouring into the mountain forest. This painting is an expanded version of the 8 x 10 inch "Snow Drifts...A Study", which I painted a while ago.

"A White Out....Almost"

"A White Out...Almost"
11 x 14 inches

I Painted most of this during an incredible snow storm up here the mountains of the Cibola National Forest ( New Mexico) where it's 8500 ft above sea level. The work was done inside a camper that I converted into an art studio.....I was really "in" the storm! I was dressed for the outdoors while doing it, as the old camper did not provide adequate heat.  I like to think that the sense of the experience is communicated in the painting. 

If you are interested in purchasing this, or any of my paintings, or to request a commissioned piece, please send me an e-mail.
