Another mentoring session today, the choice was for this Winter scene, copied from a favorite greeting card of the student. Since this was a study, neither of us will be selling this copyright-protected work but it was a good one for trying out new techniques and learning from it. What does a girl from Yuma, Arizona know about painting snow scenes? You are right...not much! It was fun to ponder and experiment a little on what might work to get the right effects. I learn about as much when teaching as I did as a student! I am nothing if not brave!

I have been working and haven't had a chance to comment but your recent painting are wonderful. Your sunrise is terrific. I really love the Grist Mill and your Christmas card is wonderful. You are so talented and can tackle anything.
