Snowed In 12x9 pastel, copyright 2013
Though long gone, it seems there is still plenty of inspiration to be found in the snow. The reference photo was a drive-by on my way to pick up some paintings in Sidney. It was not a very good photo and included reflections in the window and some of the car door, but it was good enough for a starting point. From that it was mostly a matter of being confident enough to trust to "artistic license".

Very good composition. It has a 'drive-by' feel yet settles comfortably in its frame.
ReplyDeleteI think you should keep that "license" handy. ;-)
Thank you! And I imagine a lot of my paintings feel like "drive-by's", since that what a lot of my reference photos are. I get better photos when someone else is driving though.
