Abstract inspired by snow

abstractI know it doesn’t look very “snowy”. The reason I say I was inspired by the snow was that this canvas had a painting that used very dark colors. I’d been leaving it for a few days trying to decide if I was done. Turns out…I wasn’t. It needed to light and bright like snow. I thought I was going to save a bit of the original inside the circle but in the end I covered the whole works. I really like it now. So glad I let myself sit and stew on the original.

So where does the snow come in??

Well, where do I start? We got over 9 inches on Thursday night into Friday. Another snow day for the kiddos. They’ll never get out of school at this rate.  This storm followed one that dumped around 6 inches on Monday.

See this pile…I used it to stand on to pull snow off the roof. Little J got a real nice shot of the avalanche.

You may recall my garden box along the deck…summer gardenThis is the current view from the garage…. snowy garden boxThis storm created the most treacherous driving conditions that the state patrol has seen in 25 years according to news reports. I was worried about Mr. G driving but he made it safe and sound….just late.

The snow is pretty and the kids enjoy playing in it…and it makes a pretty good canvas for snow doodles curtsey Little J.

    I don’t know what your art looked like originally but this piece is wonderful! It is simple but interesting. I’m sure you are looking forward to seeing dry pavement again! HaHa

    Where were you a couple of weeks ago when I had to create an abstract piece for a challenge? Yours is stunning. I’m super impressed with it.

    Saw that you were having more snow. I think ours is finally mostly gone, but the cold has started to return. I can’t believe all that snow you got. That’s incredible. I KNOW you are going to be glad when spring finally gets here. Just think. The kids may be going to school through July and you might have a summer of solitude (grin).

    Your painting is beautiful – and that snow is ridiculous! Your spring thaw should be interesting ….. Hmmmmm
