i work slow. finishing ideas begun when outside was still a blank blanket of white. Late winter has its own colour magic. like the snow on top of the ice on frozen pond melting in the warmth of the sun freeing pine needles enriching floating streaks of surface water from naples thru siennas / of course the same winter sun melts the surface snow during the daylight hours on northern sideroads creating a splashy drive thru until temps drop and the tire tracks freeze in place creating a crunchy crested frozen pretzel to get over and not complaining here as the sparkles on the melting snow roads create a diamond dazzle to drive thru.  

worked out a small study of melting snow over the frozen ice around the rock mid pond in hardy lake beaver pond.
