Winter Blues

Recently completed, Winter Blues, will be the last major work before I head off to Charleston for the SEWE show at the end of this week.

This piece was inspired by my trip home for the holidays. We had a huge snow storm. While watching the snow fall I was taken by the tree in my parents front yard. A tree I have known since childhood. This composition came to me quickly and with the addition of a couple of blue jays to give a lively focal point the idea was complete. All that was left was to render all that bark and all those twigs. Anyway I like it. It reminds me of home.

    Hey Ray,
    This is a truly lovely work! Spot on and very appealing. I bet you don’t leave Charleston with this one. Elegant, simple, just detailed enough to ‘draw’ interest, truly appealing on many levels. Best luck with it. See you next week.
