Blue White

Oil on Board, 10 x 14 inches

As a contrast to my last post, 'Sunset by the Welland', in this painting, the snow is the lightest passage of the landscape, and with a beautiful Cobalt Blue sky from a bright winter sun shining from the left, the bits of the snow in shadow are reflecting that similar blue. 

This painting came together very quickly, with a lot of big household brushwork used for the feathery tracery of the Willows and the detritus of dead vegetation snagged up on the low-slung, green bows of the sunlit Willow on the right.
