Let me first state: I have a love / hate relationship with dahlias. I love the beauty of their multi color petals but I struggle trying to capture it. I feel this is one of my better attempts.

Original Oil Painting Autumn Snow



Autumn Snow

12" x 12"
Painted on gessobord.

I put the final touches on my painting early this morning. The temps here in Wisconsin are below freezing with wind chills making it bite. Good time to paint inside. For this painting I used a photo from Rosemary Clark. I posted the photos below. I decided to let the water show through the patches of snow. I thought it made the compositions stronger and a nice contrast with the white snow.
