There has been heavy snow fall for the past few days resulting in great piles of snow on just about everything. In this scene, I stood under the overhang of the bank next door, which protected the painting from the constant barrage of snow. It was a challenging task, to paint the billowy white snow caps on the branches and other objects in the scene. An eerie turquoise salt was on the path in the foreground which provided a splash of colour along with the windshield of the car across the street. I tried a second painting but the sky wouldn't dry and the whole thing turned to mush. When painting in these conditions, its perhaps best to avoid layering, just paint more directly.
