"Sunday Snow" by A.B. Deneweth

Happy Sunday! Waking up to lots of fresh snow this November morning, so was inspired to quickly finish my abstract snow landscape. I'm continuing to work with the painting knife this week. I particularly love using the painting knife for snow because it's like frosting your landscape as if it were a giant cupcake. I also like to see how many colors I can use for "white" snow.

To help keep the snow scene from getting too cool, I first tinted the canvas with warm orange red hue and let some of that peak through. It's one of my favorite painting techniques.
