Not Just White

Winter in Vermont is one of my favorite seasons to paint. Though, at a hasty glance, much of it may look like plain white it's actually much more than that. Technically, white is a balance of all colors combined but in the wintery landscape they are many forces at work that break it down into it's components. Snow captures and amplifies the light, against the brilliance of which, everything else darkens to produce bold and dramatic compositions.
