Yesterday's little snowstorm dumped several inches of the white fluffy stuff everywhere. This morning, I was struck at the beauty of the trees, with the dark limbs each sporting white highlights.

Looking at the scene, the little art training I've had kicked in and I could hear an instructor's voice advising... Burnt sierra, iridescent white, a touch of pine green. Alas, it is a dream to me...

This painting by UK artist and college tutor Philip Dunn truly captures the essence of our Winter Wonderland... with a slant towards blue and cold. Today, our outdoors is much more "Black & White".
