Yellow house in winter 18 x 24 pastel on board

For this third picture, I chose an image of one of the most interesting houses in Mattapoisett. It seems to go on forever, with wonderful roof lines, widow's walk, and a great view of the harbor. I enhanced the view, however!

This picture is about the house and the drama of the snow-covered road with shadows. I used a cool ultramarine in the sky with green over it. Chose to keep the light areas of the snow pretty cool so as not to compete with the house. I used a combination of green, blue, and pink tints, as well as a cool yellow.

The roughness of the prepared board worked well for the snow-covered, rutted road.
