Winter

“Winter,” is a painting that I did in art class. It is right now my only mixed media. I put gold flecks in the moon. Also added some material to give it thickness. No matter what I do I end up with fairly thin wax.

I love painting winter scenes because of all of the subtle colors that snow reflects. This painting is painted on a highly sanded and polished artist wood panel and is an older painting that I recently returned to and revised.

“Winter” depicts an orange, full moon inlaid with gold rising on a snow covered forest of green trees. The scene is at dusk and the sky is a bold blue with gray clouds.
