As an artist who has been known for the use of bold vibrant colors in my paintings, many of my collectors are surprised to see that as the seasons change from summer and fall to winter, so does the mood and the tone of my landscape paintings.  Instead of the strong primary colors I usually use, I tend to invert my palette to more neutral tones using warm greyish blues, greens, and browns.   

I like to convey a warm joyful feeling in a winter scene with the movement of falling snow, and to create a quiet stillness that allows the viewer to hear and see the details of nature in a way that is unique to the winter season.

Winter really is full of life, and the perfect example is when I look out my window on a snowy afternoon and see a beautiful cardinal, so vivid a contrast to the grey of the day.  It really makes me happy to see such beauty while staying warm and cozy inside!
