Well, I don't know how good it is, but it's my first snow scene. This is my version of a photograph that Marge took. It depicts Tom's Gator tracks up the road to their lot after an amazing (and unusual) snowfall at Berrenda. The tallest peak is Berrenda mtn. I had to cheat and use white gouache to get the highlight line on the right side of the track. This was very fun to paint!

Looks great from here! Can't wait to see the original...
I like the shading on the snow tracks and near the barren bush. I can feel the cold from here! Would also love to see the original. Glad you enjoyed the process.
Wow Mango! I thought it was a picture when I first looked at it. Keep up the good work.
This is so beautiful! I just want to follow that road and see where it leads. Thanks for sharing!
(I deleted my previous comment due to a typo. oops!)
Thanks for the feedback. Next time, I will make the blue sky on the left side darker to make the slope pop more. I also went back in and darkened the foreground sticks/grasses as they were too light.
this is great! you're totally primed and ready to make some personalized, snowy holiday cards :)
Aw, thanks! I may just have to get going on those cards to have enough by Christmas. White Gouache (i.e. snow) is my new best friend.
I thought it was a photo too! Beautiful! What a natural. We framed the beautiful painting you gave us. I will have to take a picture!
Wow, Yelly, I'm honored that you thought the card was worth framing!
And really, I'm not a natural. I just practice alot-this stuff is all learnable, and chock full of trial and error!
