I do, I really do. I love the Twachtman winter pieces, Whistler pieces, Willard Metcalf, etc. etc. They are so difficult, so subtle, so thoughtout. I am drawn to the high key work of winter time after time and I absolutely love to paint it. The rest of the world liking it - not so much. I can't tell you how many times I have been told that "winter doesn't sell", it's too cold, noone wants to look at snow year round. Am I just strange? I love it for art's sake, not for weather's sake, though I really don't mind it then either. The funny thing is - it always sells for me. Maybe it takes a little longer than Autumn pieces but generally not. So I will paint them anyway just for me and maybe someone with a strange sense of beautiful like me!
These are beautiful Shanna. Who wouldn't like them?
ReplyDeleteThank you David! I guess I don't associate cold with paintings as I love winter pieces :)
