Winter Blues

Pastel landscape painting of afternoon sunlight streaming through pine trees in winter.

Pastel painting 17 inches x 11 inches

Please contact me if you are interested in this painting or similar artwork.

This is Michigan right now. Freezing, brutal, icy — and yet hauntingly beautiful. When the sunlight shines through the trees in my backyard, the snow lights up with color. I've been working on very detailed, realistic work lately and I felt like doing a pastel painting with a bit looser feel. My friend Liz's abstract paintings inspired me. Although this is still very much a recognizable landscape painting, it is moving in a less realistic direction...
