Here is my latest colored pencil painting, entitled A Mild Winter. It was based on a photo I took this past winter in scenic Leyden, MA. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you have seen my work in progress photos over the past few months. I took my time on this piece, working when Cate was on her naps.

I was striving for a peaceful winter scene, using a lot of blues and browns. I really feel that the cold, crisp air comes across to the viewer and I’m happy with my work.
