"The First Snow"

This Plein Air piece was done on my parents farm in Star Valley Wyoming on Thanksgiving day 2020, the snow was radiating awesome color and the scene seemed to sing the song of gratitude! On a farm we are always grateful anytime it snows because that means more water supply for the spring and summer. I love the playful use of color and texture in this painting because it helps establish the impression that the scene is dancing with joy.
