Snow Flowers

 

Oil on Canvas board 8"x8"

I haven't been painting for a while. One reason is because I am busy. The other reason is I found out that it is difficult to set up an interesting still life to paint. This morning the Sun came out after the blizzard. The soft snow accumulated on the tree branch looks like cotton flowers. They stand out beautifully against the blue sky. I chose one branch near my window, quickly made a sketch just enough to catch the scene before it been blown away.
