SHADES OF SNOW 60x60
ARTIST STATEMENT
“Shades of Snow” 60 x 60 acrylics.
"I had so much fun painting this. I am not sure how to explain all the good feelings it gave me, other than to say I’m beyond blessed to do for work what is my absolute passion: to show the world the beauty I see in God’s creation. Maybe you have seen a thousand other paintings of winter landscapes, but you never took this trail with me and saw this mountain from this angle at this exact time of the day with sky light up in a dimmed warm light. I hope you can tell what I felt when I painted this. My hands were frozen and so was the tip of my nose. But I couldn’t walk by this beautiful scene without taking a million pictures and memorizing in my mind every detail I knew my camera will not capture. All so I could bring you back here. In my favorite trail, looking at my favorite mountain. Snowmass."
