I have to admit that I had help with this one. My 6 year old granddaughter loves to draw and paint, so she sat on my lap (lap painting, Yay) and did the white snow for me. But only to the edges. "I can blend, TT!" So I let her do a little of that too.

Here's Kayla painting outside on the deck this past summer. (See the tongue action?)

I like this one, the colors, and the serenity. Good way to enjoy the snow without the cold.

The result of a lesson with another private student on values. We first established all the values using only blue diluted with mineral spirits to get dark, mid tones and lights.

I wanted to see what would happen if I used really intense colors in a landscape, and this doesn't even look bad. (That's a really blue sky.)  It might be my lights. I have two daylight bulbs and one yellow bulb shining on my easel, and now I'm thinking that maybe that's just too much light. Often my paintings look washed out, so this is interesting.

Another paint along class with Johannes Vloothuis this afternoon. I am pretty pleased with how this one came out, even though the demo was in pastels. It seems to have translated well into oils.

I love the reference photo for this one. It's a pretty place in Barre, Massachusetts, where you can amble through the woods. I've called it Cooper's Canyon, but I don't think that's exactly right. (memory isn't serving.) Anyway, I took the photo on a beautiful, cold winter's day, and have always liked painting this spot.
