After the snowfall here last night (the season's first plowing and new snow banks in the yard that will probably be sitting there come April) this scene along the Bayley-Hazen Road outside of Peacham looks more like early spring than deep winter.

I love this last series of paintings. They really show the changing light as winter sets it.
Thanks, Hillary. They're studies for eventual oil paintings. I don't usually have a strong graphite line under watercolor, but I'm trying to get these done quickly, and that helps. I'm using a triad of pthalo blue (wanted a clearer blue than prussian), aureolin (has both an earthy quality and transparency) and quinacridone coral (an unusual Dan Smith color--warm red and also transparent.)
What a great composition--I love all the interlocking shapes and crossing lines. And the colors are great too!
Thanks, Laura. I've really come to like those three colors.
