Yes, it is winter. We shovel. We curse.We watch for weather updates and hope nothing is on its way to sideline our plans. We consult the local rodent for early spring predictions. Some of us embrace the season and go skating or skiing. Some of us stay indoors till the snow melts. Some people go south. We do whatever we can.
I paint a lot in winter. Here's the evidence: a sampling of paintings I've done over many winters, some dating back to 1981. Snow is an inspiring subject. It's all about sculpture and shadows.
And now I'm going for a walk in the snow, maybe get some new inspiration along the way. Winter...love it or leave it.

These paintings are stunning, I can see why you are inspired by winter.
I too love these. Just beautiful and
serene in some cases while others have a lot of movement in them.
Yes you have to embrace winter and see the beauty in it.
I had no idea you were such a talented artist. I love your work.
Love your snow shadows. You rock, Fran!
You have really captured the different moods that snow has, which depend on temperature, humidity, light, etc. Almost makes me appreciate winter, although I am one who would rather leave it than love it.
Thanks for all your thoughtful comments, warm words for a cold climate. Frangipan, you are new! What a cool name. Isn't that a flower?
Thee are gorgeous, Fran. You make snow especially beautiful!
Your paintings are beautiful. Snow scenes are one of my favorites. And love your tutorial below - very helpful! Thanks!
Breathtakingly beautiful.
To everyone: this may be my last post on this blog due to technical issues involving a change of servers. I'm still trying to work it out.
Fran, hope you've managed to sign back on by now!
And I nominated you for a Stylish blogger award. Check my blog for details! :)
Nat, I seem to be able to access comments but not my dashboard. I'm still working on it but get very frustrated. I'll go check out your blog now.
I don't get it. I can comment on my own post but cannot post on my own blog.
Fran, I am still trying to figure this out. It's too weird.
I'm thinking that you have the wrong "identity" chosen when you go to your blog...
Nat, I've tried everything. My password has never changed. Now I'm trying a new blog.
Winter is fun.
Love it!
