In “Blizzard’s Quiet Trace,” I took a little detour from the studio — painting alla prima right from the cozy warmth of my car. It’s a tiny window into a snowy world, just 10 by 8 inches, but it holds a whole winter story. Picture a sleepy road dusted thick with snow, tire tracks winding through purples, blues, and whites, flanked by pine trees donning their heaviest coats. The real showstopper? A bright yellow traffic sign poking out like a cheerful surprise against all that chilly calm. The sky’s a soft, muted blue that keeps the scene quietly cool, while my thick brushstrokes add plenty of texture and depth to the wintry silence. All inspired by a recent blizzard, it’s like capturing a fleeting footprint in the snow before it melts away.
