This was fun to paint. I often start with a toned board or canvas, usually a kind of neutral tan, sometimes a yellowish or reddish color. With this one I used a medium blue tone (ultramarine and white), which I just never do. I liked how the warm whites of buildings and sunlit snow vibrated against the cool blues.

That cool blue put the warmth iinto all that cold snow. Temperature is as important as value, I guess. And being able to see the two distant buildings (hello cheery red barn!) gives great depth.
Yikes! What are you doing, posting at 2 AM? Guess you got the heat going.
Wonderful painting Don!
love the winter sunlight, and you've captured it beautifully here! especially love the overturned wheelbarrow...
Really nice. Love that blue wheelbarrow and it balances in such a great way with the distant red
Nice to see this painting. It is a lovely winter scene.
Thanks for your thoughts, Sam. I agree, color temperature is as important as value.
I'm a night owl type, and many of my posts are made in the wee hours. And yes, thank goodness, the heat is going.
Pierre, thanks so much. Your blog and paintings are always inspiring.
Thanks a lot, Martha!
Hi Gary--nice to hear from you, and thanks. Enjoyed catching up with your new paintings and photos.
Ruth, thanks a lot!
it's not just the colours in this painting and the previous one of the calf but the confident brushwork, orchestrating these colours beautifully.
I like the atmosphere of the scene, nice painting!
So appreciated, Rahina--thank you.
Welcome to my blog, Sylviane, and thanks!
