There is something magical about stepping out your back door and all you can hear is snow falling. One gorgeous evening here at home the sky was a deep blue black, no cars, no people, everything out in the garden was covered in a pristine blanket of snow. All our trees had a soft fluffy blanket around them.
I have been wanting to do a piece based on this photograph for a while now and this challenge seemed to fit the bill. Many of my friends will tell you I love trees. I have loads of pictures of trees, of bark, of moss ect.
I had to edit the piece down as we are working in a 12x12 format.
I played with adding some "snow" to the branches but didn't really like it so I took it off.
So I added some snow to the bottom of my tree, and liked that better.
Here is the finished piece. This was a very interesting challenge. (getting a good photo of the finished piece was also a challenge) I hope you all "Love" it!
Snow! About 8 or 9 years ago, I had my sister and her family at our house for Christmas for the first time! It was magical. I had all I ever wanted. Family. Steamy windows. And, as we were starting to eat Christmas dinner - it began to snow. I love snow. I love frosty nights and mysterious mists!

ReplyDeleteI too love trees Dale, and would be at a loss to represent your photo as well as you did. Good work. Isn't it amazing how many ways "love" can be interpreted? Mine is late but it is happening. Who's next for the theme announcement?
