Untouched Powder

5x7 watercolor snow scene at dusk showing pristine white powder untouched by animals or humans.  Four birch trees stand guard in front of evergreens in background.  I painted this imaginary scene on Lanaquarelle 140 lb hot press paper with Daniel Smith paints:  Permanent rose, Prussian blue, sap green, quin burnt orange and gold, carbazole violet and burnt sienna.

Wow, this is beautiful! I love the previous Christmasy sketches, the tree and fun rabbit, Santa’s snack and all. Our company is gone so maybe I’ll get back to art!
