Birches in Snow...

I love painting these birches in my front yard. Seeing them in the winter light, surrounded by snow, I could not resist painting them.  Snow scenes are such a great subject with strong value structure and great color temperature contrast.

“There is much beauty here because there is much beauty everywhere… One gradually learns to recognize the very few things in which eternity dwells, which one can love, and solitude of which one can softly partake.”         – Ranier Maria Rilke

   Sigh…I paint everyday, but I wish it was as beautiful as where you paint everyday. This one is my favorite.
