Every winter I obsess about wanting snow fall here in Atlanta. I scroll through the Twitter posts of photos during snowstorms with deep envy. Hence my inspiration for this new painting - bringing to mind one of my favorite landscapes by Claude Monet, The Magpie.
The low level sun behind the fence. The shadows of icy-blues and lavenders. You can imagine how quiet it was when Monet worked on this winter landscape. The tiny hint of life of the magpie, perched on the gate completely in its element. It is a perfect painting.
From the Musee d'Orsay in Paris.
