January 4, Snowy evening in purple


Hilary says I lean toward a purple palette. Since I was already leaning in that direction, I pushed it just a little further and painted a snowy evening in purple. Since it's also a wooded scene, totally from my imagination, it also hints at Robert Frost's "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening," a poem worth committing to memory. The painting harkens, too, of Frost's "easy wind and downy flake" with fantasy swirls of wind and snow.

This painting is 11" x 14" and as per my unique pricing system, $40.

SOLD

  3. Very surreal--the subtitle could be "Long Prairie, Minnesota, meets 'Harold and the Purple Crayon.'"

    It's one of those places you wish were really there instead of just in your imagination!!
