The Development of a Winter Scene Painting
(If you live in the Wilton, Connecticut area, this painting is being developed for a show at the Wilton Historical Society on November 6-8, 2015 ~ read about it at www.americanartisanshow.com)
**There are two shows going on simultaneous to one another this November 6-8, 2015 weekend. They are both in the same genre and share the same collector base. I am at the show affiliated with the WILTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY on Danbury Road, Wilton CT. This is their 30th year.
I don't have any real direction for this painting as of yet. It will end up falling into a category that might be in-between my mermaid scenes and that Rufus Porter look. I cannot decide if I will include mermaids or just have it about people. I don't have any clear cut direction as of yet! I am just painting. This is day 2.

| I painted in a few people in the background! |
The houses get larger as they come to the forefront. I happen to really love the contrast of red houses with snowfall.
 |
| I always paint from top to bottom and back to front! |
Today, I plan on sketching in and painting the sleigh. I always have a sleigh. Normally, I have ice skaters, too. We shall see! Tune back tomorrow to see the unfolding of this piece!

| Although you might not realize it, This is a larger painting. I am not sure that this translates in the photographs. LOTS MORE TO DO! |
