Snow is an 8"x10" Acrylic Painting of my family's home, it's the first painting of the series, and is the primary motivator for the project, capturing a moment of glow within the snow in my yard. I explore personal experiences with nostalgia and the concept of home and/or comfort contrasted with the quiet of night. The hazey style of painting was created by painting with a frayed, broken brush. This painting was painted in the middle of December, along with "Home Bound" and "Drive Way", which were also painted around the same week. At the time, I was painting a painting every single day. A hectic and difficult to maintain learning experience that really made me grow as an artist.
I paint in acrylic predominantly with Golden Acrylics, however I also utilize Liquitex, and even Liquitex Basics for underpaintings. For this particular series, I always start with a black gesso'd canvas, preferring to work reductively and only add lights, rather than darks.
