This painting of a Pennsylvania farm was started about 5 years before completion. It started as sparkling winter day without any snow on the ground. I added snow, eliminated a road, and simplified the composition and colors to keep the focus on the triangular shape of the farm buildings and silo. Later I adjusted some of the colors and tree shapes. If you can sense the fresh air and the tension between the fleeting clouds and the solid objects below, and perhaps feel a certain spirituality to the painting, then I will have succeeded.
