The viewer is meant to feel like the bird, floating in the quiet cool of another day coming to an end. My work is meant to be calm and this for me is just that. Calming with the memory of a storm scared into the ridge in a wind crusted top layer. I can hear the quiet when I look into this, the low rumble of nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreamy periwinkle snow in the bowl, the one tone color beckons you in. To become a silhouette inside the cold perfect snow. This color. There is so much purple in snow. After doing this piece I am convinced purple is the color of winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinter, such a powerful place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI worked on this in November 2025, acrylic and measuring 3 x 4 feet. I am very excited to offer this as a 1st in a series headed into the depths of winter in the alpine that I love so much. It was a challenge for me to work with the wind scoured snow and getting the colors faded correctly. At the last minute I decided to add some alpine glow to the tips of the peaks as well as a gold brushing on the clouds and mist. It made it sing. The original work glows. The highlighted white on the mist looks like its lifting off the canvas, the gold in the clouds will reflect in the light in real life. And the sub alpine trees are dark and full of texture. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a one of a kind piece of magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePayment plans available\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003econtact me with any questions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy friend Ralphie photographed this for print, the 1st image is his work.

I wanted to create the blasts of color I experienced that day. The oddball arms of the larch branches heading out to nowhere on the edge of the canvas, as in real life the way they sway and dance around. The world far below and endless blue gradients along the horizon below us. I used mostly pallet knife with this series as a challenge for myself, and for the solid color they offer when used on canvas. This piece has some great texture and paint catching the light in the heavily saturated places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was painted in the alpine as a study hiking then at home in my studio turned into this piece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMother Nature sprinkles her last color on the earth before turning into the various greyscales, and this year we were there to capture it.
