7 x 8.5 pastel and watercolor on marble dust board $100. plus taxI wanted to approach this one differently so I decided to look at Wolf Kahn's work before leaving to do my work. Rather than drive I walked to the field adjacent to my house. It's a public park and the fields are for soccer and baseball. I decided to enhance the natural rather than groomed aspect.
It's our first snow....celebrate!

Loriann, very pretty.
Although we missed seeing you this morning. Jake asked if the snow turns your watercolors to snow colors-
I told him I'd email and ask.
Jake is right again. Snow colors collected in my water container, but this time it was in the field by my house.
An idea for him to try- go outside and actually paint the snow. It's fun. Today, just to see, I sprayed the snow with liquid watercolor. Visions of violet and pink.
Loriann,
Just found you. I admire your paintings and your comments. Thanks.
Thanks dsb! I'm so glad you found me.I'll just bob over to your site now.
Happy painting, Loriann
I absolutely love this. it's perfect. And I love the texture.
Thanks Jala! Now let me go check your recent entries.
It feels very cold, beautiful colors!
I like the texture here very much, too, Loriann, and the colors work beautifully as well. This is a favorite theme of mine - trees lining a field. And so close to home for you - how convenient!
Your painting is so much more beautiful than the photo! I hope I can learn to see like you do. I love the simplicity of Wolf Kahn's work. He says what needs to be said and leaves it alone!
Hi Laura and thanks for visiting my blog. It's hard not to paint cold colors when it's freezing outside...but you don't really have that in California, or do you? That makes me think, how much are our landscapes affected by the way we feel physically and emotionally? Which effects more? Hmmmmmmm.
Loriann
Brian,
I remember your trees in the snow, think it was in your moley. It was a similar idea, slightly different focus. Regardless your handling of it was exquisite! ahhhh.
This time my textures were helped by my very bumpy marble dust board. Back to work. Loriann
Thanks Donna. There is nothing like being outside to "feel." And the hardest thing in the world is to leave it alone like WK does. Sometimes I can tickle it to death. Oh dear!
