Winter...After The Storm
“After the Storm” is part of the Winter Collection....It is from my Archives, and it’s the first watercolour I ever painted....it was painted in 1993…I found the image in a long out of print instruction book on watercolours…it is a picture of snow fall in Northern Ontario, with which I am very familiar, since I lived in the area for many years..although I have had many offers, I never wanted to sell it due to it’s associations.
See others from the current winter Collection below...
Watercolour on Arches Paper…
First snow, that cold, white, winding sheet, lies stretched o’er all the ground,
It shrouds the world, and all that’s in it, while winter doth abound.
Death mask adorned, winter’s partial span will grow to join together,
Both autumn’s death and springs rebirth, thus life rolls on as ever...Matsuo Basho
