This painting is one that was completed this winter, a view from Route 2, North Hero Island. It is an impression of the lake, frozen and bleak, with the winter sky in late afternoon.
It is one of the paintings that I will be showing in an installation called "Across the Seasons" at the Continuing and Distance Learning offices at the University of Vermont in Burlington for the Month of May. I will be teaching a painting work shop for them at the end of May. There will be a reception and artist talk for this show on May 22 from 5:00 - 6:30, the location is the Kelley Building, 322 South Prospect Street in Burlington. If you are in town that day, drop by!
I painted more winter paintings than usual this winter, the colors of the ice and snow, plus some dramatic skies really attracted me. Now the lake is open again and the landscape is changing fast. I expect the trees will be fully leafed out by next week, and the cycle of green starts again.
