Trying to make friends with watercoloring again, something I struggle with. I painted a background, leaving some white space for snow. Stamped the Stampscapes trees after spritzing the inked stamp with water. This started out as a full panel but by the time I cut off the messes it only measures about 4x4. Thanks for stopping.

You are on an amazing creative roll, Nancy.... you go girl! I would have guessed that watercolors were part of your very crowded comfort zone techniques... this is fantastic. The snow and sky look so life like. This has a soft quality that is lovely.

Nancy, I think you underestimate where your strengths are - watercolor is DEFINITELY one of your best! This snowy scene is soft and realistic, your sky and the trees all look fantastic! Love the simplicity and the "uncrowded" look of all the white snow!

I can't add a thing to what others have already said - this a beautiful, peaceful scene. You really are on a roll!

You captured a scene that I have seen many times skiing. The wind whipping up the snow on the mountain and the green of the pines in lovely contrast. GORGEOUS and REALISTIC!! Bravo!!
