Original artwork description:

The Pacific Northwest experienced an anomalous winter this year. More snow than most of us could remember. Winter's raw beauty reminds me of its frigid wonders, especially seen in sunsets reflecting off icy landscapes. Frozen for a season, with renewed hope on the horizon-- that's winter!
Painted with love in my impasto style, using palette knife strokes to emphasize the season's powerful skies and billowy, snow-covered fields. Softer brushwork depicts lacy tree limbs, slumbering until spring.

Materials used:

Graham oil paints painted with palette knife and brushes
