Snowy Evening
6x6” oil on canvas board. $40
Available on Daily Paintworks here
Here's a late-evening scene of a snowy field. I find it really interesting painting snow at different times of day. It goes through many different colours as the light changes.

The End Of Winter
6x6” oil on canvas board. $40
Available on Daily Paintworks here
I'm trying to get better at painting buildings, and including them in landscapes- here's a painting of a little village in the shadow of a mountain, with snow slowly melting away along the side of the road. Now that we're finally hitting the (supposedly) end of winter, I'm... painting lots of snow scenes. Nothing like being out-of-season with your art!
I'm really happy with the colours in this painting, I like the range of blues and reds.

Winter Light
5x7 inches, oil on canvas board. ON HOLD
Here's a snowy scene for this week's DPW challenge- expect more winter landscapes soon too. Here I started with a thin wash of burnt sienna, and then worked into that with white and a brown made from burnt sienna and ultramarine. I love sculpting tree branches out of negative space, layering the strokes to give the impression of light filtering through them. I'm really pleased with how this came out.
Also, I've finally found a perfect spot for photographing my paintings- so no more waiting for them to dry so I can scan them!

Sauze d'Oulx Street
5x7 inches, oil on canvas board. $18 Place a Bid
This was painted from a photograph my dad took while staying in Sauze d'Oulx, a ski resort town in Turin, Italy. I had great fun trying to capture the way the light fell on the snow, and the colours of the shadows.
