Dec 1 - To the Snow, and The Snow Painting

The color excitement begins! In my last post, I was showing you how the cool box colors can create interest across shapes by various changes in value.

Now I've moved into the warm family of colors to add the "punch" of the temperature contrast int he areas of show and sky that are infused with sunlight.

Yes, you Color Boot Camp graduates know that the sky moves into the cool family as it leaves the "warm circle"!

Design note: Do you perceive the tensions of the diagonals caused by the shadows and fence line? Another "aha" moment!

It's still dark outside this morning, and I'm getting ready to leave for a day of skiing. No chains required on the road up there, and it is only an hour and a half away. I'll be sure to have pictures taken for tomorrow's blog!
