Waiting for Snow

I have been working on small snow paintings of Shu Swamp in the studio anticipating the glorious Winter weather that has yet to come. Painting landscape in the current season brings to me a deeper awareness of the weather. Now I am longing for that slow quiet snow fall that buries time and dims everything to a profound softness. We did not get significant snow last year and I had to move into Spring not ready for the spring peepers. It is still early but I am fully expecting the gift that Winter brings that always takes my breath away when it falls.
