December Sun

Watercolor on paper, 5" x 7"
$125 plus $6 shipping in U.S.

After a pretty mild fall, winter suddenly came calling. It has been cold but spectacularly beautiful. I do love how snow suddenly transforms a familiar landscape, giving it simplicity and clarity.

Yes, it's a fabulous piece. Don, you've really captured the essence of winter with your talented use of crisp colours, tonal contrast and appealing shapes and contours.
Lovely composition,
Well done!
